Get the total number of letters in a text

I have to extract to total number of letters in this following example.

<div data-v-2f952c88="" class="text">
 <section data-v-3b70ad5b="" data-v-2f952c88="" data-content-provider="ABC" class="description__section"><!---->
   <div data-v-051a83e7="" data-v-3b70ad5b="" class="markdown" data-v-2f952c88="">
     <p>Headline 1<br>
       This is my first example</p>
     <p> Another Text
        this is onother example
     </p>
   </div>
 </section>
 <section data-v-3b70ad5b="" data-v-2f952c88="" data-content-provider="DEF" class="description__section">
     <div data-v-051a83e7="" data-v-3b70ad5b="" class="markdown" data-v-2f952c88="">
        <p>Headline 2<br>
            Java Rocks</p>
        <p> Another Text
            Selenium also rocks
        </p>
    </div>
  </section>
</div>

How can I extract all the letters inside the several tags "p" that are under several tags "section"?

how are you? well... first of all do you read something about HTML DOM?

in Javascript Using DOM you can do something like this:

var myCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("p");

Next you will have something like an collection of "p" tags

You can access them by index number: y = myCollection[1]; or loop it:

var i;
for (i = 0; i < myCollection.length; i++) {
  //do something with myCollection...
}

Your example can look something like:

var myCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("p");
var i;
var added = 0;
for (i = 0; i < myCollection.length; i++) {
   added += myCollection[i].innerText.length;
}
alert(added);
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<div data-v-2f952c88="" class="text">
 <section data-v-3b70ad5b="" data-v-2f952c88="" data-content-provider="ABC" class="description__section"><!---->
   <div data-v-051a83e7="" data-v-3b70ad5b="" class="markdown" data-v-2f952c88="">
     <p>Headline 1<br>
       This is my first example</p>
     <p> Another Text
        this is onother example
     </p>
   </div>
 </section>
 <section data-v-3b70ad5b="" data-v-2f952c88="" data-content-provider="DEF" class="description__section">
     <div data-v-051a83e7="" data-v-3b70ad5b="" class="markdown" data-v-2f952c88="">
        <p>Headline 2<br>
            Java Rocks</p>
        <p> Another Text
            Selenium also rocks
        </p>
    </div>
  </section>
</div>

</body>
</html>

I hope you find it useful!

What about this?

    String[] tags = {"p", "section"};
    int totalLetters = 0;
    for (String tag: tags) {
        List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName(tag));
        for (WebElement element: elements) {
            totalLetters = totalLetters + element.getText().length();
        }
    }

have you tried to iterate throught all elements something like this(didn´t look the java syntasys but adapt it for yourself jus take the idea)

foreach(IwebElement element in driver.findElements(By.Tag("p"))){
    //Work with the element.Text
}
