This is an example of how you would iterate through a list of items:

Code:
for item in ${list_of_items}; do
    if [[ $item = teacup ]]; then
         echo "Five bucks for the $item"
    else
         echo "That $item is not for sale, sorry"
    fi
done

Apply it to your circumstance.

XmListReplaceItemsPos(library call)									       XmListReplaceItemsPos(library call)

NAME

       XmListReplaceItemsPos -- A List function that replaces the specified elements in the list

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/List.h>
       void XmListReplaceItemsPos(
       Widget widget,
       XmString *new_items,
       int item_count,
       int position);

DESCRIPTION

       XmListReplaceItemsPos  replaces	the  specified number of items of the List with new items, starting at the specified position in the List.
       When the items are inserted into the list, they are compared with the current XmNselectedItems list. If any of the  new	items  matches	an
       item on the selected list, it appears selected.

       widget	 Specifies the ID of the List widget.

       new_items Specifies the replacement items.

       item_count
		 Specifies the number of items in new_items and the number of items in the list to replace.  This number must be nonnegative.

       position  Specifies  the position of the first item in the list to be replaced.	A value of 1 indicates that the first item replaced is the
		 first item in the list; a value of 2 indicates that it is the second item; and so on.

		 Beginning with the item specified in position, item_count items in the list are replaced with	the  corresponding  elements  from
		 new_items.   That  is,  the item at position is replaced with the first element of new_items; the item after position is replaced
		 with the second element of new_items; and so on, until item_count is reached.

       For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3).
