tr command is used for translating characters, not for filtering columns from an output. As you said, try this:
Code:
ls -l | awk '{ print $5 }'

Thanks All,
I have got the solution.. lines=`ls -l | tr -s [:space:] | cut -d ' ' -f 5 | wc -l` lines=`expr $lines - 1` echo "Fifth column of 'ls -l' command:::" ls -l | tr -s [:space:] |cut -d ' ' -f 5 | tail -n $lines
