Thank you
Do not use echo and cat, save resources, and always try to make code as simple as possible just do like below

Code:
awk -F'[:.]' '{print $1,$2,$4}' file

I posted answer with echo in #2, since you didn't mention that you are going to handle file, it was just an example.

Please use codetags for data and code in future.
