Without a code example it is difficult to know what you're doing, but I suspect you're trying

 file(READ myfile.txt myvar)
 message(${myvar})

The unquoted argument gets split into multiple arguments on ; and then message() displays each argument consecutively. See the cmake-language(7) manual:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-language.7.html [^]

for details on that. You can use quotes to make sure an argument is treated as a single value:

 message("${myvar}")
