you should create dom element, traverse , html() or .text()

  var value = '<div >\               <p class="">hi cname@gmail.com</p>\               <br/>\              <br/>\              <div id="mydiv">\                sgdhsagdhagh\                dhsajdgasj\                cjzjcg\                </div>\              </div>';      alert($(value).find('#mydiv').html())

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

if need parent element, use

alert($('<div />', {html: value}).find('#mydiv').html())
