Three full stops, or 'periods' as some in the US call them, is called an ellipsis. In more formal writing it can indicate that the material you are quoting goes on, but the material is not relevant to your topic. In more casual writing, it can indicate that the writer isn't clear how to proceed, or it can indicate sarcasm, cynicism, doubt, or just a pause in the thought. You have to get a lot from context.
