✔ Best Answer
In this script the input file contains t,e,s,t

@echo off
cls
setlocal 


for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=," %%A in (backupscripts.mattzz) do (
set list1=%%A&set list2=%%B&set list3=%%C&set list4=%%D
)

(
echo %list1%
echo %list2%
echo %list3%
echo %list4%
)>test.test

type test.test

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%
