I'm a beginner in jquery and ajax. While i was going through some example online, i came across the following piece of code and wondered what exactly it does. 

```
    lines = newLine.split('#');

 jQuery.each(lines, function(lineNo, line) {                    
                        eval("linedata = " + line);             
                        data.push(linedata);

                    });

```

I'm not a programmer, but just trying to understand its functionality. Can anyone help me?
