Hello Raja.

Maybe you could do a helper in your view like:

@helper FormatStringAsNumberList(string source)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= 6; i++)
    {
        var separator = i + ".";
        source = source.Replace(separator, "<br/>" + separator);
    }

    @Html.Raw(source)
}

And calling it like:

@FormatStringAsNumberList(stringData)

Where stringData is your string from the database. You can offcource change the number 6 in the for loop if you know there is going to be more than one list item.

Off cource this is not bulletproof since there is always the possibility that a user (i just assume the string data is editable) uses a number followed by a . in an actual line, but its A way.

Best of luck to you!!

Another way to go could be:

        var input = "1. Spray directly onto the surface to be cleaned. 2. Leave for one minute. 3. Wipe with a damp cloth. 4. At kraftgit ingrained dirt, work the surface with a cloth and rinse with water. Do not let the product dry on the surface being treated. 5. To clean plastic or painted surfaces diluted product: 30 ml to 4 liters of water. 6. When used on carpets or fabric, first test on a hidden surface. 7. ";
        var pattern = @"(\d\.)"; // encapsulate pattern in parenthesis and the "splitted by" part will also be returned
        var values = Regex.Split(input, pattern).Where(x => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x)).ToArray();
        var result = new List<string>();
        for (var i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
        {
            if (i + 1 >= values.Length)
                continue;
            if (i % 2 == 0)
                result.Add(values[i] + values[i + 1]);

        }
        var readable = string.Join("<br>", result).ToArray();

is working on a reply...
