Get-ChildItem refresh/update - powershell

Question

Pretty new to Powershell and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Im trying to figure out if there is a cleaner way to accomplish what I have below? Is there a way to refresh to contents of Get-ChildItem once I have made some changes to the files which are returned during the first Get-ChildItem call (stored in $items variable)?
During the first foreach statement I am creating a log signature for all the files that are returned. Once that is done, what I need to do is; get a listing once again (because the item in the path have changed), the second Get-ChildItem will include both the files that were found during the first Get-ChildItem call and also all the logFiles that were generated when the first foreach statement called the generate-LogFile function. So my question, is there a way to update the listing without having to call get-chilItem twice, as well as use two foreach statements?
Thanks for all the help!
--------------This is what I changed the code based on recommendation--------------
$dataStorePath = "C:\Process"
function print-All($file)
{
Write-Host "PrintALL filename:" $file.FullName #Only prints when print-All($item) is called
}
function generate-LogFile($file)
{
$logName = $file.FullName + ".log"
$logFilehandle = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter $logName
$logFilehandle.Writeline($logName)
$logFilehandle.Close()
return $logName
}
$items = Get-ChildItem -Path $dataStorePath
foreach ($item in $items)
{
$log = generate-LogFile($item) #Contains full path C:\Process\$fileName.log
print-All($item)
print-All($log) #When this goes to the function, nothing prints when using $file.FullName in the print-All function
}
---------Output--------------
For testing I have two files in C:\Process:
fileA.txt & fileB.txt
I will create two additional files
fileA.txt.log & fileB.txt.log
Eventually I need to do something with all four files. I created a print-All Function where I would process all four files. Below is the current ouput. As can be seen, I only get output for the two original files found, not the two additional created (get blank lines when calling the print-All($log)). I need to able to use fullpath property provided by Get-ChildItem, thus using FullName
PrintALL filename: fileA.txt
PrintALL filename:
PrintALL filename: fileB.txt
PrintALL filename:

I'm not entirely clear on what you are asking, by can have generate-LogFile return the created log file, then just call generateRequestData on both your file and the log file? Something like this:
$items = Get-ChildItem -Path $dataStorePath
foreach ($file in $items)
{
$logFile = generate-LogFile $file
generateRequestData $file
generateRequestData $logFile
}
Edit:
In your added sample, you are returning a string from generate-LogFile. .NET strings don't have a FullName property, so nothing gets printed in print-All. To get the FileInfo object that you want, use the get-item commandlet:
return Get-Item $logName
Also, in this example, you don't need to use a StreamWriter to write to the file, you could use the native powershell Out-File commandlet:
function generate-LogFile($file)
{
$logName = $file.FullName + ".log"
$logName | Out-File $logName
return Get-Item $logName
}
