#Taking the input from user
$File_Name = Read-Host "Provide the filename that contains the list of Servers "
$VM_list = Get-Content "$File_Name"

Write-Host "VMName`t`t`t      SnapShot Name`t`t`t`t`t    Size of Snapshot"
# Checking each Server one by one
foreach($CHK_VM in $VM_List) {
$Cap_VM_Info = Get-VM $CHK_VM | Get-Snapshot | Select VM, Name, SizeGB
$Name = $Cap_VM_Info.VM
              $SnapshotName = $Cap_VM_Info.Name
              $SizeOfSnapshot = $Cap_VM_Info.SizeGB

Write-Host "$Name`t`t$SnapshotName`t`t`t$SizeOfSnapshot"
}

appending string after end of each line

I have a File that contains list of servers and I just want to append a domain-name (say .xyz.com ) at the end of line.

# head -5 serverlist.txt
server1
server2
server3
server4
server5
# sed  -ie 's/$/.xyz.com/' serverlist.txt
# head -5 serverlist.txt
server1.xyz.com
server2.xyz.com
server3.xyz.com
server4.xyz.com
server5.xyz.com
#

Another method using Awk:
awk '{ print $0 ".xyz.com" }' < serverlist.txt > resultfile.txt
