Capturing info in an array is not working

I found this code

Code:

#! /bin/bash



i=1

ls | while read line

do

    array[ $i ]="$line"

    (( i++ ))

done

from this post

However the code is not working for me. Anytime I try to echo one of the array entries it doesn't display anything.
Is this code to old to work? It doesn't seem that old.

I run the code in the terminal like this:

Code:

i=1; ls | while read line;do array[$i]="$line"; (( i++ )); done

And it doesn't work.

This line works:

Code:

ls | while read line;do echo "$line"; done

It lists all the stuff in the current directory I am in on separate lines.

I am thinking maybe just the array part of the code is wrong.

Nevermind. I found the answer.

Code:

i=1

while read line

do

    array[$i]="$line"

    (( i++ ))

done < <(ls)
