Hi Parimal,

You can achieve the desired behavior with the following code:

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
    <content>
       <b>Here is sample content!</b>
    </content>
</telerik:radeditor>
<input type="button" value="Count Characters" onclick="CountCharacters()" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    function CountCharacters()
    {
       var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
       var oSelElem = editor.get_text();
       alert(oSelElem.trim().length);
    }
</script>

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
George
