String, broken by a specific condition
I would like to split this line into ' '
only if it has ':'
:
"A:Hey B:Are C:You there"
C:You there
should not be split. The result should be:
["A:Hey", "B:Are", "C:You there"]
How can i do this?

You can split into this.
See demo.

Mostly use lookahead
to make sure the space
one on which the split follows non space characters and :
. So it will work the way you want it to.
