Javascript replace multiple characters in string not working as expected

Question

Replace <b> and </b> with space " " and <br> with \n

var a  = "Welcome to xyz. You have been added as a manager by <b>Adam </b>.<br><br><b>Dashboard Link:</b> https://app.xyz.com <br><br>Use the credentials below to sign-in: <br><b>Username : </b>a@k.com<br><b>Password : </b>qwerty";

var b = a.replace("<b>|</b>"," ").replace("<br>","\n");
console.log(b);

`"|"` replaces _literal strings_ `"|"`. You need a _regex_ here. — Sebastian Simon, Jul 12 '18 at 05:50
var a = "Welcome to xyz. You have been added as a manager by Adam .

Dashboard Link: https://app.xyz.com

Use the credentials below to sign-in:
Username : a@k.com
Password : qwerty"; var b = a.replace(/|<\/b>/g," ").replace(/
/g,"\n"); console.log(b); worked — art, Jul 12 '18 at 08:56
