Add linebreak after specific character in jquery/js

Question

I have string, for example

var string = 'This is my string. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum.'.

This text, however, may be different. My question is how, using JavaScript/jQuery, could I make a new line after every dot in this string so that each sentence starts in a new line ?
Thanks for help.

wow, no effort made, and three answers so far

string.split(".").join(".\n")

Probably.

Using regex:

var string = 'This is my string. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum.'
console.log(string.replace(/\./g, '.\n'))

@Stphane can you elaborate your statement?

You replace the dot instead of just adding a newline.

@Stphane: The thing about the escapes is not true for JS.

I dont want to delete dots, just make linebreak after dot.

@Pat can you see carefully?
