nice mate works perfectly i had to make a few changes and i know i made them in a way that could be made much smaller (the l before number means letter) the edits so far are below also can you message back if there is a simpler way for /f "tokens=1-26 delims=," %%A in (%temp%\temp.dat) do ( set l1=%%A&set l2=%%B&set l3=%%C&set l4=%%D&set l5=%%E&set l6=%%F&set l7=%%G&set l8=%%H&set l9=%%I&set l10=%%J&set l11=%%K&set l12=%%L&set l13=%%M&set l14=%%N&set l15=%%O&set l16=%%P&set l17=%%Q&set l18=%%R&set l19=%%S&set l20=%%T&set l21=%%U&set l22=%%V&set l23=%%W&set l24=%%X&set l25=%%Y&set l26=%%Z ) echo %l1%%l2%%l3%%l4%%l5%%l6%%l7%%l8%%l9%%l10%%l11%%l12%%l13%%l14%%l15%%l16%%l17%%l18%%l19%%l20%%l21%%l22%%l23%%l24%%l25%%l26% pause
