C# add line numbers to a text file

Question

I am trying to read a text file in C# and add line numbers to the lines.

This my input file:

    This is line one
    this is line two
    this is line three

And this should be the output:

    1 This is line one
    2 this is line two
    3 this is line three

This is my code so far:

class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\MyText.txt";

        StreamReader sr1 = File.OpenText(path);

        string s = "";

        while ((s = sr1.ReadLine()) != null)           
        {
            for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
                Console.WriteLine(i + " " + s);
            }

            sr1.Close();
            Console.WriteLine();    
            StreamWriter sw1 = File.AppendText(path);
            for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
            {
                sw1.WriteLine(s);
            }

            sw1.Close();               
    }
}

I am 90% sure I need to use for cycle to get the line numbers there but so far with this code I get this output in the console:

1 This is line one
2 This is line one
3 This is line one
1 this is line two
2 this is line two
3 this is line two
1 this is line three
2 this is line three
3 this is line three

And this is in the output file:

This is line number one.
This is line number two.
This is line number three.1 
2 
3 

I am not sure why the string variable s is not used when writing in the file even though it is defined earlier (another block, another rules maybe?).

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

namespace AppendText
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\MyText.txt";

            StreamReader sr1 = File.OpenText(path);


            string s = "";
            int counter = 1;
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

            while ((s = sr1.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                var lineOutput = counter++ + " " + s;
                Console.WriteLine(lineOutput);

                sb.Append(lineOutput);
            }


            sr1.Close();
            Console.WriteLine();
            StreamWriter sw1 = File.AppendText(path);
            sw1.Write(sb);

            sw1.Close();

        }

    }
}

IEnumerable<string> lines = File.ReadLines(file)
                                .Select((line,i)=>i + " " + line)
                                .ToList();
File.WriteAllLines(file, lines);
