how can manipulate text file using shell script?

2 98602862 98725768 11 3100287 3228869 10 3588083 3693494 2 44976980 45108665 

using sed can write

$ sed 's/chr//; s/[:-]/ /g' file 2 98602862 98725768 11 3100287 3228869 10 3588083 3693494 2 44976980 45108665

or maybe use awk

awk -f "chr|[-:]" '{print $2,$3, $4}' file 2 98602862 98725768 11 3100287 3228869 10 3588083 3693494 2 44976980 45108665 

what does

• -f "chr|[-:]" sets field separators chr or : or -. print different fields or columns.

• you can use field separator -f [^0-9]+ makes other digits separators.
