Mario,

Or, skipping emacs all together, use AWK

awk -F \\t '{print $2}' < input.txt | tr -d ' ' > output.txt

This AWK command sets the field delimiter to TAB (aka \\t),
and prints the second field from each line in the file.
The tr command deletes all spaces from its input.

If you use MS-Windows, only use one \

HTH,
