Agreed with era..

But to get you going , following is the one of the most common usgaes of tr -d..

Code:
ls -l /home/nua7 | tr -d " " | cut -d " " -f2
This would list all files in the given path, equally space out the fields with a space " ", which is further used as a demiliter in cut command.

Hope this helps..!
