How to enter line break after every xml closing tag by using javascript replace function?

Question

I am using the following javascript replace function while formatting my xml code.

xml = xmll.replace(/<\/?[0-9]{1,}>/g, '');

But it is not creating line break even i used the following function too to create new line.

xml = xmll.replace(/<\/?[0-9]{1,}>/g, '\n');

Still it did nt create line break or new line after closing tags of xml. Can anybody know what should be the possible solution?

Try this.

xml = xmll.replace(/(<\/?.*?>)/g, '$1\n');

Respected sir, it is really working. but sir, i was eliminating <0> tag but now <0> tag is again showing. as i dnt want to display node indexes such as <0> <1> and so on.

Then try this one. xml = xmll.replace(/(<\/?.*?>)/g, '\n');

Actullay it's same as [0-9]{1,} but it check for any characters not only digits. if my regex is working then your regex should also work. there is no difference .
