Making list of files from folder and adding additional text via powershell

Question

I'm trying to make list of kb in folder and add to results some additional text. Im trying like that, but its not like I want:

    $nazwa = Get-ChildItem -file "c:\2012 standart\" | select name 

     for($a=1 ; $a -le $nazwa.Length; $a++)
     {
      "start"
     "$nazwa[$a]"+"addiotional text"
     "stop"
      }

I would like results like that:

start

file1 additional text
file2 additional text
file3 additional text

stop

Where is the problem? Will be great grateful for any help.

write-host "start"
$nazwa=Get-ChildItem -file "c:\temp\" |  select-object name 

foreach ($i in $nazwa  )
{
    write-host $i.name "addiotional text"
}
write-host "end"

@János How to redirect this output to file? I try .\generator.ps1 > list.txt, file is created but without outputs (empty), any idea?

$FileToWrite="C:\temp\test.txt" "start" > $FileToWrite $nazwa=Get-ChildItem -file "c:\temp\" | select-object name foreach ($i in $nazwa ) { $text=$i.name + "addiotional text" $text>> $FileToWrite } "end" >> $FileToWrite
