Try this boiled down attempt - might not work on Solaris:
EDIT: Thinking twice, I don't really like that. Let me work on sth. that extracts the keywords for the grep from the data file...
I don't want to restrict to these three "white|red|blue"
The data.txt may contain as many replace string as we like.

It will work for the first string replacement.
But for the entry string replacement after reading from the data.txt it will not update "$file"_tmp.replace rather take "$file" as the input again and override the first replaced string.
So, it needs to update the same "$file"_tmp.replace for each entry it pickes from the data.txt. Note: data.txt can have as many replace entries as the user likes to feed-in.
