How to Add Groups to Capture Words from RegEx split pattern?

Question

I have the following RegEx pattern, which seems to work properly in matching the words in a string, with words separated by a colon (:):

/"[^"]*"|[^:]+/g

It properly identifies the words. But how do I add capture groups that will work with n words?

For example, search of

10:05:12:00

should return 4 groups of 10 05 12 00

Ultimately this pattern will be used in a Keyboard Maestro Search Using RegEx Action.

TIA.

Have you tried any capture groups? Does `/("[^"]*"|[^:]+)/g` work? It seems to on regex101.com — TessellatingHeckler, Dec 12 '15 at 02:41
Thanks. that works perfectly in the regex101.com tool. Now I just need to figure out how to implement in KM. — JMichaelTX, Dec 12 '15 at 09:16

The answer really came from @TessellatingHeckler in his/her comment above:

Best implementation in KM is TBD.

For completeness and future ref, here's a screenshot:
