JS has built-in support for HTML parsing. Use this instead:

function getSpaceSeparatedText(html) {
  // Create an element and use it as a parser
  let parser = document.createElement('div');
  
  parser.innerHTML = html;
  
  const result = [];
  
  for (const node of parser.childNodes) {
    // Get the trimmed text
    const text = node.textContent.trim();
    
    // If text is not empty, add it to result
    if (text) {
      result.push(text);
    }
  }
  
  return result.join(' ');
}

try it:

console.config({ maximize: true });

function getSpaceSeparatedText(html) {
  let parser = document.createElement('div');
  
  parser.innerHTML = html;
  
  const result = [];
  
  for (const node of parser.childNodes) {
    const text = node.textContent.trim();
    
    if (text) {
      result.push(text);
    }
  }
  
  return result.join(' ');
}

const html = `
This is 
a
test
`;

console.log(getSpaceSeparatedText(html));
