I use this method for splitting words from string, but \n doesn't consider. How can I solve it?

public string SplitXWord(string text, int wordCount)
{
    string output = "";
    IEnumerable<string> words = text.Split().Take(wordCount);
    foreach (string word in words)
    {
        output  = " "   word;
    }

    return output;
}

Well, string.Split() splits by white-spaces only

UPDATE:

Another solution with regex and keeping line characters:

string str = "my test\r\n string\n is here";
var wordsByRegex = Regex.Split(str, @"(?= ). ?(\r|\n|\r\n)?").ToList();
