Jenkins Pipeline String and for-Loop

I'm creating a jenkins pipeline which has a string as a variable of 1 or more items
text="test1.var1.eu-20190414121923517200000001 test2.var2.ue1-20190414121925623400000002 test3.var3.ue1-20190414121926583500000003"
I basically want to go in a loop and for each item run an action. for example echo each one in turn. The echo would look at the string and return each item in a for loop where there are 1 or more results
expected result:
test1.var1.eu-20190414121923517200000001
test2.var2.ue1-20190414121925623400000002
test3.var3.ue1-20190414121926583500000003
I've tried a few things including adding a sh to run a for loop
#!/usr/local/bin/groovy
pipeline {
parameters {
choice(choices: "1\n2\n3", description: 'The length of time for the environment to remain up', name: 'hours')
}
stages {
stage('get and update hours') {
steps {
script {
env.text="test1.var1.eu-20190414121923517200000001 test2.var2.ue1-20190414121925623400000002 test3.var3.ue1-20190414121926583500000003"
sh "echo ${text}"
sh "for value in ${text}; do echo $value; done"
}
}
}
}
}
expected result
test1.var1.eu-20190414121923517200000001
test2.var2.ue1-20190414121925623400000002
test3.var3.ue1-20190414121926583500000003
actual result:
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline [Office365connector] No webhooks to notify groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: value for class: > groovy.lang.Binding at groovy.lang.Binding.getVariable(Binding.java:63) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.groovy.SandboxInterceptor.onGetProperty(SandboxInterceptor.java:264) at org.kohsuke.groovy.sandbox.impl.Checker$6.call(Checker.java:288) at org.kohsuke.groovy.sandbox.impl.Checker.checkedGetProperty(Checker.java:292) at org.kohsuke.groovy.sandbox.impl.Checker.checkedGetProperty(Checker.java:268)

At which point you want to split this into particular texts? In general this part is missing .split(' ').
def texts = text.split(' ')
for (txt in texts) {
sh "echo ${txt}"
}
If you really want to do that in your shell directly add escaped quotes and use a variable
sh "test=\"${text}\";for value in $test; do echo $value; done"
