Save this in a script and run it by irb: i = 1 while 1 puts i end It doesn't allow you to add any more command lines unless the never-ending while-loop is over. Wrapping this in a thread does not help it too: Thread.new{ i = 1 while 1 puts i end } All I want to do is to have the while loop, and then enter i = 2 in the command line to get 2 printed. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
