Subject: Trying to add threading to parse a .txt file.

Hi All,

I have code that will parse a text file line by line and then send the
variable I want to a sub routine to send pages to people. My question
is can I use threads to parse that text file with out duplicating the
output. Below is the code it may make more sense to look at it.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

trap('SIGHUP','IGNORE')

i = 0

def autopage(pagenum,count)

 begin

  `snpp -s SERVER ADDRESS -f 'EOC Notify' -m 'test' #{pagenum}`
  rescue
    puts "#{pagenum} has NOT been paged."
  else
    puts "#{pagenum} has been paged. #{count} "
  end
end


File.open('//var//lib//asterisk//agi-bin//pager_list.txt', 'r') do |
f1|
   while line = f1.gets
      result = {}
      pagenum,fname,lname=line.split(" ")
      if line.split.empty?
      else
        if pagenum == "####"
        else
           count = (i += 1)
           autopage(pagenum,count)
           end
         end
       end
     end


Thanks!!
