NOOB Question - Cannot seem to get the output in a text or CSV file - Please help!!

Question

I was able to put together a script which finds members of a certain AD group, filters down the users, and then calculates the number of days till a password reset is needed.  I am able to get on screen exactly what i am looking for, but cannot seem
to figure out how to get the same data to a file.  What i am doing wrong?  two goals here:
1.  Create a spreadsheet with a list of users whose password is about to expire.
2.  Down the line automate an email to users whose password is about to expire. 
Here is my code:
## Get List Of Users in Password Change Lockout that do not have an expired password or a password that never expires
$Names = (Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "Password Change Lockout" -Recursive |`
Get-ADUser -Properties * |`
Where-Object {$_.PasswordNeverExpires -eq $False -and $_.PasswordExpired -eq $False} |`
Sort-Object name |Select-Object -ExpandProperty SamAccountName)
## Get Password last Set values for all
Foreach ($Name in $Names)
$VAR1 = (Get-ADUserResultantPasswordPolicy -Identity $Name).MaxPasswordAge
$VAR2 = (Get-ADUser $Name -Properties *).passwordlastset
$VAR3 = (Get-ADUser $Name -Properties *).name
$DTPC = (New-TimeSpan -Start (Get-Date) -End ($VAR2 + $VAR1) | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Days)
Filter users to those who need to change thier password in 15 days.
If ($DTPC -lt 15)
No matter what i try between the {} after the If statement, I cannot get the output to a file.  However, if I use a Write-Output I get exactly what i looking for.  I feel like i am forgetting some basic concept and could really use some help.  Thanks.

Hi Matt,
I generally create an empty array (something like $out = @()) at the top of the script and then use $out += $desiredOutput inside of the foreach loop.
Outside of the loop, you can then pipe $out to Out-File or Export-Csv, depending on your needs.
