ASP-jscript:

s = s.replace(/\./,'.<br>');

The same with all dots replaced:

s = s.replace(/\./g,'.<br>');

Or even

sMyText = Replace(sMyText, ".", (".<br />" & VbCrLf))

To avoid long lines and to enhance the readablity of the script

Good plan, but please do not toppost on usenet,
and do not quote signatures.

The script is of limited use, because would you want:

"socks € 5.23.shoes € 29.95."

to be changed to:

"socks € 5.
23.
shoes € 29.
95.
"

?

No, that is where regex will do somewhat(!) better,
[js example]:

s = s.replace(/\.([\D]|$)/g,'.<br>$1');

You can do the same with vbs regex but not in one statement line.

This would only "fail" for:

"6 socks € 5.23.2 shoes € 29.95."

Readability of what script and why would it need to be readable?

I rather stupidly assumed that the question related to an 'ASPage'
Also stupidly, maybe that the purpose of an 'ASPage' would be to
generate some HTML script to be served to the client.

When I serve such pages, I like to be able to Right Click on the page in
the Browser and see the source if I have any problems.

I now have learned my lesson, I will keep my stupid assumptions to
myself - especially in respect of posts from MVPs

Sorry

I apologise, you're quite right view source is a reasonable and useful tool.
