javascript finding a string in a string

Question

i need a loop to check if a string contains "\n".

   
var content = "Hello \n bob \n ben je op deze \n world \n bobert",

what i need is a javascript (node.js) script that checks the String content if it contains "\n" and if it does

it needs to split the on the "\n" char and then print it like this

<content>Hello </content><br />
<content>bob </content><br />
<content>ben je op deze </content><br />
<content>world </content><br />
<content>bobert</content><br />

var content = "Hello \n bob \n ben je op deze \n world \n bobert";
var arr = content.split("\n"); 
var str = '';
arr.forEach(function(val){
 str += '<content>'+val+'</content><br />';
})

$("div").html(str)

I don't know Node.js but in javascript it can be done using split()

var content = "Hello \n bob \n ben je op deze \n world \n bobert",
content_array = content.split("\n");
content_array.forEach(function(entry) {
    document.write("<content>'+entry+'</content><br />");
});
