I recorded this `dont use ls but glob instead` shellsession because it is very easy to miseducate
yourself concerning bashscripting.

Do yourself a favour and use bash arrays. Run this in your console and you'll understand:

  files=(*)
  echo "${files[0]}"
  echo "${files[@]}"
  echo "${files[@]:0:2}"

Use this instead of using ls.
This will prevent you a lot of trouble,hassle and lot of code.
