Extracting Multiple String in a File

Hello...

Request for help and assistance...

I have a file.txt that contains multiple lines similar from below and I would like to extract to other file in a tab/space delimiter some certain values or field.

Code:
/dir1/File1.File2_File3/content/data/File4.File5.Service:        <connection URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hello.sample.com:9999/DBName" name="text1" password="xx123xx" username="forumID" validationQuery="test2 * text3 text4"/>


I would expect to execute a 'cat' command of the file.txt then do a PIPE '|' and may need to use a sed/cut/awk command to extract multiple strings in a file.


OUTPUT:
Code:
File1 File2 File3 File4.File5 hello 9999 DBName xx123xx forumID


Highly appreciate any help.

Thanks.
