Question Spliting bash string into parts

Hello, let's say I have this string:
Code:
string1="A\nB\nC D E\nFG\nH";

How can I split it so as to take every string separated with '\n' separately?
For example, as for $string1, it would be split into
string1_part1="A"
string1_part2="B"
string1_part3="C D E"
string1_part4="FG"
string1_part5="H"

i tried to do this way:
Code:
for i in $string1; do
   mpla mpla
done

but this way takes spaces as separators too, so that didn't work :/

Thanks in advance for any answers!Smilie
