You need to make your own splitting function, so what you might be looking for is string.gmatch using regular expressions

string.gmatch uses patterns not regular expressions.

string.explode = function(self, sep)
    local ret = {}
    for s in self:gmatch("([^".. sep .."]+)") do
        ret[#ret+1] = s
    end
    return ret
end
