jQuery Split text() to get new lines

Question

How to split the .text() , so that i should get new lines.

For suppose i have like this.

var loa = $('.loa_div').text();
alert(loa);

alert loa gives me,

Resultabc.resultdefgh.Resultkijklm.result12.Result888.kkkresult.123result.

I should get

Resultabc.    
resultdefgh.
Resultkijklm.
result12.
Result888.
kkkresult.
123result.

Do you use a character to separate your values, or do you use specific length? — Nicolas Henrard, Jun 26 '14 at 06:55
Infact my '.loa_div' is dynamic. The contents inside '.loa_div' changes everytime... And my issue is related to obtaining result in new line. The link to duplicate doesnt related to my question. — user3778091, Jun 26 '14 at 07:03
Sorry forgot to mention. Not every line starts with Upper Case.. It might be like. 'Result123 result345 kkkresult' — user3778091, Jun 26 '14 at 07:12

Do you mean split like below?

var loa = $('.loa_div').text();
alert(loa.split(/(?=Result)/).join("\n")); // use <br> instead if you want to display as html.

Thanks... but i forgot to mention . not every line has Upper case.. then how do i do it? – user3778091 Jun 26 '14 at 07:10
@user3778091, Please show some other string. – RGS Jun 26 '14 at 07:12
To be even more specific I have something like this 'MK1 --- 08-06-2014 --- schedule missingMK1 --- 09-06-2014 --- schedule missing'. which will be in a single line one after the other. – user3778091 Jun 26 '14 at 07:15
ok for suppose i have '.' at the end of every result character. is it possible to split and switch to new line exactly after '.' ?? – user3778091 Jun 26 '14 at 07:23
@user3778091, I have updated my answer based on your feedback. Please check. – RGS Jun 26 '14 at 07:32
