Shell Programming and Scripting

All,

I have a file with below entries.

/java/usr/abc/123
/java/usr/xyz/123_21
/java/usr/ab12/345/234
.........
.........

And I need entry as

/java/usr/abc/config
/java/usr/xyz/config
/java/usr/ab12/config
.........
.........

Actually, I need to remove all other entries after three words, means

/java/usr/ab12/345/234/.../..../.... to /java/usr/ab12/

Please suggest me.
