Field extraction for IP ADFS Logs

Hello,

I found one post but the REGEX search didn't work. How would I extract the IP into a new field that comes after http://schemas.microsoft.com/2012/01/requestcontext/claims/x-ms-forwarded-client-ip. For example, here's the actual log:

10/24/2018 11:09:33 AM
LogName=Security
SourceName=AD FS Auditing
... 8 lines omitted ...
OpCode=Info
... 5 lines omitted ...

Caller identity:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/groupsid
... 6 lines omitted ...

DOMAIN\johndoe
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/upn

I'm looking to extract any IP after that x-ms-forwarded-client-ip string.

Thank you!
