This will not split the data - merely space it further apart - @Alexander Elgin has the correct answer IMO – gavgrif Aug 01 '17 at 10:04
Zika NAA, Urine sud be in new line. – Soumya Behera Aug 01 '17 at 10:04
Being on a newline in the js is not required - its only better for readability - not functionality - the reason why I up-voted and praised @Alexander Elgin is that his answer splits the one string into an array that has two items - this can be iterated over and appended to a ul or a table or however you are rendering it in the DOM (or if it was passed to a variable and then iterated over (instead of just console logging the items) it would.) This answer cannot do that without itself being split at the newly introduced space. – gavgrif Aug 01 '17 at 10:06

comma should not be there after "Zika NAA, Blood" and "Zika NAA, Urine" should be in new line. – Soumya Behera Aug 01 '17 at 10:10
