Batch script not outputting files with this code - file

Question

This script should output each word in a 10-word sentence stored in line 1 (When called with SeparateLine.bat (filename) 1, but it shows no errors nor outputs or makes the file.
I have already tried removing the parenthesis in the (echo %%a > 1.txt) and the ones below, with no avail. I've also tried different formats for where the outputs go, still no avail.
#echo off
if not exist "%~1" echo file not found & exit /b 1
if "%~2"=="" echo line not defined & exit /b
if "%~2"=="1" set line=1 & goto start
set /a line=%~2-1
:start
For /f "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10* usebackq skip=%line% delims= " %%A in ("%~1") do (
if not "%%A"=="" (echo %%A > 1.txt)
if not "%%B"=="" (echo %%B > 2.txt)
if not "%%C"=="" (echo %%C > 3.txt)
if not "%%D"=="" (echo %%D > 4.txt)
if not "%%E"=="" (echo %%E > 5.txt)
if not "%%F"=="" (echo %%F > 6.txt)
if not "%%G"=="" (echo %%G > 7.txt)
if not "%%H"=="" (echo %%H > 8.txt)
if not "%%I"=="" (echo %%I > 9.txt)
if not "%%J"=="" (echo %%J > 10.txt)
GOTO endforloop
)
:endforloop
With the file that contains one, two, three... ten separated by spaces, it should output 10 files (maximum word limit is 10) each containing word 1-10 of the line (I specified line 1 in the second parameter as the words are on the first line), but the actual results are... nothing. Literally, it acts as if it completed successfully but no files are made and, well, no error codes.

I think this will be what you are looking for. Note you cannot use the pre-defined variable in skip=%line% you need to instead use more +%line%, there is not a need to define each token token=1,2,3,4... etc. simply use tokens1-10 and and last, but not least no need to use delims= as whitespace is the default delimeter:
#echo off
if not exist "%~1" echo file not found & exit /b 1
if "%~2"=="" echo line not defined & exit /b
if "%~2"=="1" set line=1 & goto start
set /a line=%~2-1
:start
For /f "tokens=1-10" %%A in ('type "%~1" ^| more +%line%') do (
if "%%A" NEQ "" echo %%A
if not "%%B"=="" echo %%B
if not "%%C"=="" echo %%C
if not "%%D"=="" echo %%D
if not "%%E"=="" echo %%E
if not "%%F"=="" echo %%F
if not "%%G"=="" echo %%G
if not "%%H"=="" echo %%H
if not "%%I"=="" echo %%I
if not "%%J"=="" echo %%J
goto :EOF
)
There is a flaw however with your line variable.
if a user selects 0 it will do 0 - = -1and then set the lines to skip-1if a user selects2it will set it to skip1` which is not what a user requested, so I suggest you clarify what your intensions are with the skip lines, but perhaps just get rid of it completely, like:
#echo off
if not exist "%~1" echo file not found & exit /b 1
if "%~2"=="" echo line not defined & exit /b
set /a line=%~2
:start
For /f "tokens=1-10" %%A in ('type "%~1" ^| more +%line%') do (
if "%%A" NEQ "" echo %%A
if not "%%B"=="" echo %%B
if not "%%C"=="" echo %%C
if not "%%D"=="" echo %%D
if not "%%E"=="" echo %%E
if not "%%F"=="" echo %%F
if not "%%G"=="" echo %%G
if not "%%H"=="" echo %%H
if not "%%I"=="" echo %%I
if not "%%J"=="" echo %%J
goto :EOF
)
