PowerShell - Add string between outputs - powershell

Question

I'm trying to separate by a string (;), results from this :
$MasterKeys = ($MasterKeys | Where {$_.Name -ne $Null -AND $_.SystemComponent -ne "1" -AND $_.ParentKeyName -eq $Null} | select-String Name,Version,ComputerName | sort Name| ft -hide )
Here is the output of this command:
HP ePrint SW 5.1.20088 LT00438
I would like this instead:
HP ePrint SW; 5.1.20088; LT00438
Well, this is the full code :
I don't know where to put the Export-Csv -Path "file.txt" -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation function :(
Function Get-InstalledSoftware

You can export your data to a semicolon separated file by using Export-Csv and specifying the -Delimiter ";"
$MasterKeys | Where {$_.Name -ne $Null -AND $_.SystemComponent -ne "1" -AND $_.ParentKeyName -eq $Null} | select Name,Version,ComputerName | Export-Csv -Path "C:\folder\file.txt" -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation
If you don't want the header line:
$MasterKeys | Where {$_.Name -ne $Null -AND $_.SystemComponent -ne "1" -AND $_.ParentKeyName -eq $Null} |
select Name,Version,ComputerName |
ConvertTo-Csv -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation |
Select-Object -Skip 1 |
Set-Content -Path "C:\folder\file.txt"
EDIT:
In your code you would replace:
$MasterKeys = ($MasterKeys | Where {$_.Name -ne $Null -AND $_.SystemComponent -ne "1" -AND $_.ParentKeyName -eq $Null} | select Name,Version,ComputerName | sort Name| ft -hide )
$MasterKeys >> $files
with
$MasterKeys | Where {$_.Name -ne $Null -AND $_.SystemComponent -ne "1" -AND $_.ParentKeyName -eq $Null} | select Name,Version,ComputerName | ConvertTo-Csv -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation | Select-Object -Skip 1 | Set-Content -Path $files
