string split issues

Just started writing JavaScript/Angular and can't seem to figure out why this ain't working. I am trying to split a textarea's string into an array on the \n character inside a controller using $scope.mytext.split("\n") and I keep getting:

TypeError: undefined is not a function

I have also tried ng-split='\n' which works fine for text input, but doesn't seem to work for textarea.

Some guidance would be very much appreciated.

So going off the little information you gave us, I came up with the following JSFiddle

This takes in a <textarea> input, binding it to <ng-model>, and then performing the split function to obtain and array based on where a \n is. Such that, 

 $scope.myModel = {
        textarea: null,
        newTextarea: null
    };

    $scope.splitTextArea = function(input) {
        var newInput = input.split("\n");
        $scope.myModel.newTextarea = newInput;
    };
