Here updated version with different approach. We create new html element from the input value and and get span elements textContent.

function parsehtml()
{
    let value = document.getElementById("TextArea1").value
    let html = document.createElement('html');
    html.innerHTML = value
    let spans = Array.from(html.getElementsByTagName( 'span' ))
    let result = spans.map(span => span.textContent)
    document.getElementById("TextArea2").value = result.join(' ')
}

JavaScript
 
function parsehtml()
{
    let value = document.getElementById("TextArea1").value
    let html = document.createElement('html');
    html.innerHTML = value
    let spans = Array.from(html.getElementsByTagName( 'span' ))
    let result = spans.map(span => span.textContent)
    document.getElementById("TextArea2").value = result.join(' ')
}
