Unable to convert text into dataframe in python

I am trying to convert a text into a dataframe using Python.

sample_text: 'This is \nsample text\n\nName|age\n--|--\n1.abc|45\n2.xyz|34'

Final Desired output:

Steps I am following to achieve above output is listed below :

1. Break the text into multiple rows and assign it to a variable: I have tried using print() to process this text formatted_text = print('This is \nsample text\n\nName|age\n--|--\n1.abc|45\n2.xyz|34') but it cant be assigned as print() returns NoneType so I get error here.

Desired output after this step:

This is 
sample text

Name|age
--|--
1.abc|45
2.xyz|34

2. Use above line break text stored in variable to be read as csv with separator | to create dataframe: I have been thinking of processing this as pd.read_csv(formatted_text,sep='|', skipinitialspace=True)

Desired_output after this step:

I tried earlier explaining this problem in SO post but I guess I wasn’t able to explain it well and it got closed. Hope I am able to explain my issue this time. It could be a silly task but I am stuck at this from long now and would appreciated any help.

>Solution :

A possible solution:

text = 'This is \nsample text\n\nName|age\n--|--\n1.abc|45\n2.xyz|34'

pd.read_csv(StringIO(text), lineterminator='\n', engine='c', header=None)

To split the columns:

(pd.read_csv(StringIO(text), lineterminator='\n', engine='c', header=None)[0]
 .str.split(r'|', expand=True))

Output:

             0
0     This is 
1  sample text
2     Name|age
3        --|--
4     1.abc|45
5     2.xyz|34
