Try this:

set pfile to quoted form of (POSIX path of ((path to desktop folder as text) & "some.txt"))
do shell script "cat " & pfile & " | tr -d ' ' "

I see that you have non-breaking spaces in that file. So:

set pfile to quoted form of (POSIX path of ((path to desktop folder as text) & "some.txt"))
do shell script "cat " & pfile & " | tr -d \"\\302\\240\" | tr -d ' '"
