I was trying to do something similar and I wrote a patch to make dmenu
output the index of the item instead of the text. The patch adds a "-n"
option to toggle making it output an index instead of the text, also you
must select the exact item (it doesnt output the input text). Patch added as
attachment. I hope you find it useful.
