How can i modify my regular expression to not to remove new line

Question

I am using this expression in my code to remove blank spaces in a string.

var TestString= some string with blank spaces and/or new lines;
TestString=TestString.replace(/^\&nbsp\;|<br?\>*/gi, '').replace(/\&nbsp\;|<br?\>$/gi, '').trim();

Now this Regular expression removes a new line also.what i need is it should remove spaces at start at end but not when enter is pressed that is when new line is created.

Any idea how do i modify this expression to achieve that?

Edit after some research:

TestString=TestString.replace(/&[^;]+;/g, '').replace(/<br\s*\/?>/mg,'\n');

If i use this expression it shows them with new line but after uploading it doesn't show them as that.Any idea why is it so? Is it not possible to make a new line in editable table td element?

将多行模式“ m”添加到“ / gi”是否可行？
