bash script space question

[dualblade]

i'm trying to read the contents of a directory into an array, but i'm not sure how to deal with subdirectories that have spaces.

the code i've got is like this:

for dir in `ls  /vmstorage/`
do
list[count]=$dir
echo "$count: $dir"
count=$((count+1))
done

if the subdirectory has a space, the text after the space will become a new array position. i know strings can handle having spaces, but i'm not sure how to do this correctly. any advice?
