Like I wanted to do

bind pub - @help help

proc help {nick uhost hand chan text} {
set help [string trim $text] {
"" { putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :blah"
}
}

could I do that I'am not exactly sure how to do it and what format would i use for the file.

Could you try to explain, in words, what you try to accomplish?
That piece of code does'nt make any sense at all...

Ok im trying to make a Help script but it will gather the info from a .txt file.
What I want to know is how to make it search the File or and msg that line with the info?

Simple. Open the file and read line by line then check if the first word is what you where looking for then dump in to the channel what that line has. Example of storing in file.

something Bla bla bla
foo Something else
.. and so on..

Check the Basic File Operations for starters.
