Help with Lua Patterns

Why this doesn't works

local filepath = "Name : Java DB 10.5.3.0 Vendor : Sun Microsystems, Inc Install Date : 20110429 Version : 10.5.3.0"
local name,vendor,installdate, version = string.find(filepath,"^Name : (.*?) Vendor : (.*?) Install Date : (.*) Version : (.*)$")

print(name)
print(vendor)
print(installdate)
print (version )

Need to break the string using Regex:-

I have a string below

"Name : Java DB 10.5.3.0   Vendor : Sun Microsystems, Inc   Install Date : 20110429   Version : 10.5.3.0"

I need to get the Vendor :Sun Microsystems, Inc

I need to get the Install Date :20110429

I need to get the Version :10.5.3.0

Input string to Regex

local strname = "Name : Java DB 10.5.3.0   Vendor : Sun Microsystems, Inc   Install Date : 20110429   Version : 10.5.3.0 "

output string 

Name :Java DB 10.5.3.0
Vendor :Sun Microsystems, Inc
Install Date :20110429
Version :10.5.3.0

Well, I don't understand Your output, but the following regex may be a start on what You might want. Visualized here

^Name : (.*?) Vendor : (.*?) Install Date : (.*?) Version : (.*?)$
