Hi, I need some help in regular expression match. For example let us say I go to finance.yahoo.com and search for DODIX and view the source. I can search the following string and I ALWAYS get a match 
<span class="Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib)" data-reactid="
+33">

However, when I use this is in code as follows, it does not work 
 if (string =~ m/<span class="Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib
+)" data-reactid="33">/) {
    print "match\n";
 } else
    print "no match";
 }

Tried escaping following charcters: 
(
)
.

and tried the following: 
 if (string =~ m/<span class="Trsdu\(0\.3s\) Fw\(b\) Fz\(36px\) Mb\(\-
+4px\) D\(ib\)" data\-reactid="33">/) {
    print "match\n";
 } else
    print "no match";
 }

I am sure I am doing something wrong and I know RE sometimes gets complicated. Can monks educate me?
