powershell select field

I got a file with two fields delimitered by various length of space in between.

CA    CADevserver1
CA      CADevserver1
CA        CADevserver1
...

I need to get the second field only, this is the powershell command I use:

PS C:\> gc "c:\dropit\\tmp.txt" |foreach {($_ -split '\s+',2)[1]} > temp.txt

The idea come from this link, thanks for that:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2503010/extracting-columns-from-text-file-using-powershell

Though the second field content are saved in temp.txt, the lines in the file cannot be processed properly by the following code:

"
@echo off
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (temp.txt) do call :processline %%A

pause
goto :eof

:processline
set pcpserver=%1
echo "pcpserver name is :"%pcpserver%

goto :eof

:eof
"
The above script suppose to loop each line but it did not, I do not have time to troubleshoot, the workaround is to copy the lines from temp.txt and paste to new file and save the file, use the new file to process, that works. there might be some hidden characters in the temp.txt

non-existent process lock port on windows server

I have a database link created between oracle and sqlserver using oracle tg4odbc, the product is installed on windows server and run as service "OracleOraGtw11g_home1TNSListener", but sometime the service cannot started, the root cause of this problem is that the port number 1521 is used by an non-existent process. The first step is to use netstat -bano|find "1521" to get the process id, in my case it's 5844, which shows the connection is from my oracle server 10.8.0.169 H:\>netstat -bano|find "1521"   TCP    0.0.0.0:1521           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       5844   TCP    10.14.45.33:1521       10.8.0.169:42987       ESTABLISHED     5844 however the process id does not show in either task manager or process explorer. The next step is to run tcpview, which shows non-existent under process column, there are three rows, two show status as "listening", the other one shows status "established", right click and k
