EDIT: Or, if you insist on arrays: either use two arrays with a common index, or concatenate the two values into one with a unique separator (which then, on retrieval, you would need to separate again).
Thank you Rudi,
this was exactly what i need to achieve and probably the easiest way to do it.
A Single line of code to read an external file and write the data to 2 variables.

XmListReplaceItemsUnselected(3X)										  XmListReplaceItemsUnselected(3X)

NAME
XmListReplaceItemsUnselected - A List function that replaces items in a list SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/List.h> void XmListReplaceItemsUnselected (widget, old_items, item_count, new_items) Widget widget; XmString *old_items; int item_count; XmString *new_items; DESCRIPTION
XmListReplaceItemsUnselected replaces each specified item in the list with a corresponding new item. The replacement items remain unse- lected, even if they currently appear in the XmNselectedItems list. Specifies the ID of the List widget to replace items in. Specifies a pointer to the list items to be replaced. Specifies the number of elements in old_items and new_items. This number must be non-negative. Specifies a pointer to the replacement items. Every occurrence of each element of old_items is replaced with the corresponding element from new_items. That is, the first element of old_items is replaced with the first element of new_items. The second element of old_items is replaced with the second element of new_items, and so on until item_count is reached. If an element in old_items does not exist in the list, the corresponding entry in new_items is skipped. For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3X). SEE ALSO
