Solved Splitting strings

Code:

    webrequests.EnqueueGet(    url, function(code, response)
            command, args = response:match("([^:]+),([^:]+)")
            print(command)
            print(args)
        end, self.Object)

Obviously the above function does not work and I'm extremely simple minded at regex, can anyone put me in the right direction for simply splitting at a colon and referencing the first and second values?

An example in PHP would be

Code:

list($command, $args) = explode(":", response);

Code:

local function split(str, sep)
    local tbl = {}
    for word in string.gmatch(str, "[^"..sep.."]+") do
        table.insert(tbl, word)
    end
    return tbl
endlocal string = "this is:your string"
local splitted = split(string, ":")-- output
for key, value in pairs(splitted) do
    print(key, value)
end
