Try like this

Get-Contentt c:\Script\adddisk.txt | %{
 
$hostname = Get-VM -Name $_ | Get-VMHost | Select -ExpandProperty Name
 
if($hostname -eq "esx3"){
   
$dsname = "Datastore3"
  }
 
elseif($hostname -eq "esx4"){
   
$dsname = "Datastore4"
  }
 
New-HardDisk -VM $_ -CapacityGB 5 -DiskType Flat -Datastore $dsname -StorageFormat Thin
}

The Get-Content will read the file line by line.

We execute the codeblock for each line (the ForEach construct - the alias is %)

Testing on equality of strings is done with the -eq operator, the = operator is only used for assignments.
