Which Shell?
I'm most familiar with Bash, so here's what I would do:
theFolders=(`ls -l /`)
Then you can echo each element of the array like this:
echo ${theFolders[0]}
echo ${theFolders[1]}
echo ${theFolders[2]}
etc...
The main problem I see here is that the field separator (how you divide up the input into each element of the array) is whitespace, so this probably isn't what you really want. Do you need the ls -l for this, or can you just get away with the directory names?
