PowerShell Loop to run a command against using file

Question

I am using below code in shell. I need to run the same in PowerShell.
I have frame list in file and I need to excute the command in loop and I need append the prefix variable to each output

for g in `cat /home/capacity-report/vmax3-frame.txt`
do
    echo $g; `symsg -sid $g list -v` > /home/capacity-report/sg
done

Could you provide an example for Input and Output file to see what is going on. — f6a4

What environment is this intended for? Windows/Linux/MacOs? Maybe the tag powershell-core is more appropriate? — user6811411

The PowerShell code for that shell snippet is pretty similar to the original:

foreach ($g in cat 'C:\path\to\input.txt') {
    echo $g; Invoke-Expression "$(symsg -sid $g list -v)" > 'C:\path\to\output.txt'
}

And the next time please try doing this yourself first. SO is not a free translation service. I'm just making an exception today because the wheather is so nice.

@BelvendranRanjan "get the details and append prefix to each line" That is not what your bash code is doing. Please edit your question and show samples of desired and actual output, and also the error you're getting.
