If you want to extract the list of files from the output of `ls`,
you'll need to pass --quoting-style=shell and then parse the output
with ${(z)...}. If you just want to get a list of files that match a
pattern, you don't need `ls`.

    files=(s,7*)

I understand that your problem is likely more complex than the test
you've shown but even then it's likely that you can avoid parsing the
output of `ls`.
