[PLUG] cut delimiter question

   On a long directory listing there are 8 fields: permissions, number of
links, owner/group, size, month, day, time, filename. If I want a list of
only filenames from cut I can specify the delimiter, but the listing is
delimited by one or more spaces. Trying -d" " seems to work for a single
space, and the man page (and my Google searches) haven't shown me how to
specify multiple spaces. Is there a generic 'white space' specification?
