Hi all
I'm trying to run two thread at one time in a program.
And one of them will receive user inputting msgs by gets().
another one will do something else at the same time.
they don't communicate each other.

like this :

       thread_a =  Thread.new{
              loop do
                   puts "please enter blah blah"
                   msg = gets
                   #do something
              end
      }
      thread_a.join
      thread_b = Thread.new{
               loop do
                     #do other things maybe  puts "im running im running
......"
               end

     }
     thread_b.join

but when thread_a runs gets waiting for user input, whole program will be
paused waiting for this, I mean thread_b will not working.
How can I handle this ?
Do I have to do this by running multi process?
