Shell Programming and Scripting

Hey all,

This is my first post, and I am relatively new to linux/unix scripts. I am writing a bash script in which I am trying to extract one line from another file and parse specific words from the line into an array. So for example, I have a file called SortScans in which the first 5 lines might look like this (nevermind that this file is in csh):

Code:

 
#!/bin/csh

set Runs = (2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13)
set Folders = (anat RS1 RS2 RS3 DTI DTI DTI DTI DTI DTI DFM DFM)

and in my new script, I want to create 2 arrays that would correspond just to what's inside those parentheses, where the end result would be the following 2 arrays

RunsArray[*] = 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
FoldersArray[*] = anat RS1 RS2 RS3 DTI DTI DTI DTI DTI DTI DFM DFM

So here is the code that I am using so far in my script just to create RunsArray

Code:

 
#!/bin/bash

RUNS=`echo | awk 'NR==4 {print;exit}' SortScans`

sed -i 's/*(//' $RUNS
sed -i 's/)//' $RUNS

declare -a RunsArray
RunsArray=$RUNS

I don't really know what I'm doing there, I just sort of copy pasted different related things I've seen on forums. But I'm getting the following error on the sed part -

sed: can't read set: no such file or directory

and that error repeats for each word or number down the line (i.e. runs, =, (2, 3, 4, etc.)

Anybody think they can help me out? Like I said I'm just starting out, so if you think you have a better way of doing this altogether, I would love to hear it. Thanks y'all.
