Regex Getting around parentheses in a element

Question

I have a question with regex, I'm trying to scrape a stock price. The element surrounding it looks like this:

<span class="Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib)" data-reactid="52">17.89</span>

As you see there are multiple parentheses in that element so when I try to narrow it down with the following code the parentheses cause my script not to display any results.

MatchCollection list = Regex.Matches(data, "<span class=\"Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib)\" (.+?)</span>", RegexOptions.Singleline);

I Know you can ignore quotation marks using \ but is there away to ignore parentheses?

I tried that already it throws a unrecognized escape sequence when I try that — user3674312, Jul 28 '19 at 08:46
