Javascript – Count Characters Including the Break Line of an HTML TAG

I have a regex to remove the html tags to count my characters. Which is working fine.

<string_variable>.replaceAll("<(.|n)*?>","").replaceAll("&nbsp;"," ").replaceAll("&amp;","&");

alert <string_variavle>.length()

But I need to add the
(New Line) to count my characters.

ABC

DEC

For example above ABC and DEC are 6 characters with 2 break lines it should be 9. As of now it is just counting with 6 characters.

    You can systematically replace all of your n to a different char and then use the length:

    const temp = myVar.replaceAll("n", "a")
console.log(temp.length)

    let str = `
    <div>
      abc
    </div>
    <div>
      abc
    </div>`

console.log(countNewlines(str))

function countNewlines(input) {
  let count = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
    if (input[i] === 'n') {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}
