Assigning an array would (in bash) require to embrace the term with ( ... ). See the differences:
Code:
FILES=($(ls))
echo ${#FILES[@]}
33
echo ${!FILES[@]}
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

as opposed to
Code:
FILES=$(ls)
echo ${#FILES[@]}
1
echo ${!FILES[@]}
0
