Convert data (or text?) to a string (or just to an array)

I have this, what I'm trying to do is convert the data to an array, but I think this doesn't work, so how can I convert the data to an string so then I can do the split?

$.ajax({
  url:"instructions.txt"
}).done(function(data){
  data.split("\n");
  alert(data);
})

This is my instructions.txt (UTF-8):

This should work :

$.ajax({url:"instructions.txt"}).done(function(data){
  var myArray;
  myArray = data.toString().split("\n");
    for(var i in myArray) {
        alert(myArray[i]);
    }
});
