I want to do the following: if a string does not contain a colon (:), no change is needed; if it contains one or more colons, break the string into multiple strings using the colon as a separator. For example, "happy:" becomes
"happy" ":" ":sad" turns to ":" "sad" and "happy:sad" changes to "happy" ":" "sad" How to do this?
