How to get first four parts of the string?

I have the string:
Code:
XXXX.YYYY_ZZZ.20180724.01.txt

I need to get rid of .txt and get full four parts
Code:
XXXX.YYYY_ZZZ.20180724.01


I did:
Code:
CTL=`echo XXXX.YYYY_ZZZ.20180724.01.txt | rev | cut -d"." -f4 | rev`

But got only
Code:
YYYY_ZZZ


What should I do to get all four parts of that string?


Thanks for contribution
