powershell for loop help

Hey Guys,

I'm having some issues consructing the correct for loop I need and also finding a command to e-mail output. Maybe you guys can help me.

Currently I have a directory listing that has been parsed and stripped of everything except for the file name and dumped into a file called listing.txt. so, currently the file looks something like this:

test1.txt

test2.txt

test3.txt

Basically I'm trying to write a for loop that will read each line inside of listing.txt and run a get-content(or cat) for each line. I would then need it to take that output and send it as an e-mail so for example, If I were to write this in bash it would look something like the following:

for line in `cat listing.txt`;do

echo "$line" >> output.txt

cat "$line" >> output.txt

echo "" >> output.txt

mail -s "this is a subject" test@yahoo.com < output.txt

done

Hopefully you guys can help me, as I'm totally new to powershell. Thanks alot!
