You are already trying to use bourne shell! $() is bourne syntax. You only get to use `` in csh.

csh can't do the kind of doublethink where you put a csh statement in a variable then execute it, either. sh can, but you have to force it, since it's very seldom a good idea to do so.

This will get them in an array where each number is its own index:

Code:
set VAR = ( `tr -d ",()'" < infile` )

...which you can then process with a loop to get the numbers three to an index like you want.
