I am trying to parse the string to only return the values after the ":". Ex from above "U" and "2618".
Any suggestions?

In any
POSIX shell (bash, ksh, ash, etc.), you can use parameter expansion to extract parts of a string:
Code:
var="abc:def ghi jkj:lmn opq"
left1=${var%%:*} ## Everything to the left of the first colon
left2=${var%:*} ## Everything to the left of the rightmost colon
right1=${var##* } ## Everything to the right of the rightmost space
right2=${var#* } ## Everything to the right of the first space
