Following the previous answer, simply use a stats command:

| index=yourindex
| rex "(?<newfield>[^\/]+)(?=.vmx)"
| stats latest(_raw), count by newfield

if the value matches with regular expression then newfield will have values otherwise no.

the table below doesn't have values you posted in question.
