Array based selection of values by selecting either index or member

say I have

Code:
istofitems="beans  rice  carrots  radishes rutabaga spinach"


and I want the end user to select something like below

Code:
Please enter the veg you like from 

 1 ) beans 
 2) rice 
 3) carrots 
4) radishes 
5) rutabaga 
6) spinach
Q) Quit

Enter either Value or Number:  <- user enters either number corresponding to entry or the name

and return the user selection in a variable.

now the problem is that the list is always variables -- today it has 6 members, later on it may grow to 20, and I can't add them to the list manually... All I can is add them to list in first place.

NAME
irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands SYNOPSIS
irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
