For instance, something like this: struct strbuf **line, **to_free; line = to_free = strbuf_split(&ssh_principals_out, '\n'); for (; *line; line++) { strbuf_trim_trailing_newline(*line); if (!(*line)->len) continue; principal = (*line)->buf; keeping in mind that strbuf_trim_trailing_newline() takes care of CR/LF, and with appropriate cleanup at the end of the loop: strbuf_list_free(to_free); (and removal of `FREE_AND_NULL(principal)` which is no longer needed). Something similar can be done with string_list_split(), as well.
