Trying to automate some work stuff and this includes many folder generations but and I was thinking of using a dynamic array to do this, let me know how this sounds.

First Part of my Script is to export a directory list using the:

ls /home/USER/Downloads/ > "/home/USER/Desktop/scripts/FolderList.txt"

and it gives the output as expected:

Folder With Some Long Title

Folder With Another Long Title

In this example I only gave (2) but there could be upwards of 1500+ folders and I have already written the commands to create the other folders on my server and name them automatically based off the original folder name, but the problem I have is I want my scripts to index thru all the folders and preform my commands (there are about 8 that are mostly string manipulations and such). So I was thinking of getting the count of the number of items in the Directory then write them to the text file mentioned above, then using a FOR-Loop to run that number of times that will contain my 8 or so commands? any thoughts or better ideas?
I Can get the count using:

wc -l FolderList.txt | awk '{ print $1 }'

But I'm not sure how to create or manage a Dynamic Array and use it with the for-loop to index thru my commands. any guidance appreciated thank you.
