Question: StringTools Split command

I get the same result here where I expected a difference to be acknowledged by the split command. Is there a more efficient way of handling this problem other than the substitution for another character, followed by executing the split  command, then substituting the substituted character with the original ?(here ":")




 

StringTools['Split']("fdsg543656fgh:576fghs:dsfg::657ufdgdsg", "::")

["fdsg543656fgh", "576fghs", "dsfg", "", "657ufdgdsg"]

StringTools['Split']("fdsg543656fgh:576fghs:dsfg::657ufdgdsg", ":")

["fdsg543656fgh", "576fghs", "dsfg", "", "657ufdgdsg"]
