It is always difficult to get this sort of problem right using loops.
This is not a complete solution because it does not deal with what to
do when the signal is negative, but this can be added into the
solution easily.

So, you want the output to be

- the signal from a zero-crossing until the signal reaches the reference value
- the reference value until the signal reaches a zero-crossing

Therefore the problem can be reduced to that of generating a signal to
toggle between the two, for example:

s =sin(linspace(0,2*pi,400));
r=.8;
toggle = [0,cumsum(max(diff(s>r),0)+min(diff(s>0),0))];

# now fenerate the output signal
out=s.*(1-toggle)+r*toggle;

# and plot input and output
plot(1:400,s,out)

You will need to deal with handling the negative side of things, deal
with zero-crossing correctly and decide whether I extended toggle to
the correct length correctly for your problem.
