To answer Daniel's question: no, absolute file names on DOS/Windows
systems do not necessarily begin with a slash.

The proper regexp should be something like

   \([A-z]:\)?[/\\].*basics.c

This assumes that \(...\) is the proper syntax for grouping (I don't
know much about the regexp syntax expected by Expect).

(The uppercase A but lowercase z in the above are intentional: that's
because letters between Z and a can also be drive letters, amazingly
enough.)
