How to get a specific element using jquery?

I'm trying to get the div element which has the class repeat. So I tried this, but it shows undefined. 

var data = '<div class="test form-group col-xs-6 repeat" id="repeat_py">\n <div class="kv col-lg-2">index:\n<pre class="num">0</pre></div>\n<div><span class="kv">value: <pre class="num">m</pre></span></div></div>'

alert($(data).find('div.repeat').html())

Fiddle

you are just missing wrapper class here that's why you got an error as undefined

try the following code

	var data = '<div><div class="test form-group col-xs-6 repeat" id="repeat_py">\n <div class="kv col-lg-2">index:\n<pre class="num">0</pre></div>\n<div><span class="kv">value: <pre class="num">m</pre></span></div></div></div>'
alert($(data).find('div.repeat').html())

This give me perfect alert

You can simply try with this alert($(data).html());

You need .filter() instead of .find()

Reduce the set of matched elements to those that match the selector or pass the function's test.

 $(data).filter('div.repeat').html()


var data = '<div class="test form-group col-xs-6 repeat" id="repeat_py">\n <div class="kv col-lg-2">index:\n<pre class="num">0</pre></div>\n<div><span class="kv">value: <pre class="num">m</pre></span></div></div>'

alert($(data).filter('div.repeat').html())
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Try this

var data = '<div class="test form-group col-xs-6 repeat" id="repeat_py">\n <div class="kv col-lg-2">index:\n<pre class="num">0</pre></div>\n<div><span class="kv">value: <pre class="num">m</pre></span></div></div>';
 
var HTMLobject = $('<div/>').html(data);
console.log(HTMLobject.find('div.repeat').html());
alert(HTMLobject.find('div.repeat').html());
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

replace find with filter

alert($(data).filter('div.repeat').html())

find looks for children, filter looks at the sibling level
