serverResponse.split(",")

This will return an array of strings

This was not what was asked. It is only part of the answer. You need to split, and join to get to his requirements. – justinledouxweb Apr 08 '16 at 19:26
I've made a simple example here. Can you please take a look? https://jsfiddle.net/ntphdttz/ – gabriel.santos Jul 01 '16 at 13:05

Depending on where you're using the string, you could replace commas with either \n or <br>:

YourString.replace(/\,/g,",\n")

This won't work. Simply doing `.replace(',', '\n')` will replace the first occurence of a comma, but not all. You'll need to use a regular expression like so: `string2.replace(/\,/g, '\n')` – justinledouxweb Apr 08 '16 at 19:24

You have 2 options:

Option 1:

var string1 = '09:30pm - 10.30pm,11.00pm - 12.00pm';
string1 = string1.split(',').join(',\n');

Option 2:

var string2 = '09:30pm - 10.30pm,11.00pm - 12.00pm';
string2 = string2.replace(/\,/g, ',\n');
