Array question

When setting a variable, how would I go about making each result a new line?

A very simple example would be:

Code:

theFolders=`(ls -l /)`

echo $theFolders

This gives me all the folders as one variable and I need to be able to use each as its own variable. I'm sure I have to make this into an array, but I have no idea how to do that, and be able to use an element of the array later in the script.
