error in line 6 command not found

Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/home/andre/Documents/Scripts/Copy1/
f1=file1
f2=file2
f3=file3
check= ( cd $dir && ls | grep file? ) #the idea is to check if   files file1-3 exists, has been copied, are there already, whatever :D

if [ -d file ]; then
   mkdir Copy1
   echo " has created folder "
else
   echo " folder exists, processing to copying files "
fi

cp -i $f1 $f2 $f3 $dir
echo " files /$f1 /$f2 and /$f3 has been copied "
cd /home/andre/Documents/Scripts/Copy1/
if [ -d $check ]; then
   ls | grep file?
else
   echo " you might not have permisions to copy files ask your administrator"

Replace the space between = and ( in line 6 with a $ and try again. Indention can be helpful.
