c# regex not enough )'s

Question

I'm getting the not enough )'s error, but as best I can tell I've got all the )'s in.

line getting error:

string pathFriendlyDevId = Regex.Match(device, "VEN.*(?=\\)").ToString().Replace("&", "_");

device string getting parsed:

string device = "PCI\\VEN_144D&DEV_A804&SUBSYS_A801144D&REV_00\\4&10B60712&0&00EA";

the goal here is to get everything from VEN to REV_00.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Answer 1

As was pointed out above, using a verbatim string such as @"VEN.*(?=\\)" did the trick
