Splunk Search

Using regex to filter by file directory

I have a field in splunk named commandline.  I want to filter this field just by values containing "C:\"

This appears sometimes at the beginning of the filed value and other times in the middle.  Can someone help me with a regex statement or other search filter to narrow my results this way?
