Why not just do something like:

echo $i
done

Okay - how about an array:

set -A list `ls`

echo ${list[0]}
echo ${list[1]}

etc

I don't get it. Instead of running the following script
--
$list=`ls`
echo $list
--

why not just run

# ls -1

??

Wow - Biswajit - that's sweet!

from man:

-1 (one) List the file names in single column format regardless
of the output device. This forces single column format to
the user's terminal.

Since you are not explaining why you are doing what you are doing, then I'm assuming you only want to display all the entries in "$list" on at a time- Try...

echo $list | xargs -n1

Hope that is what you are looking for...
