Subject: Re: How to not display output of a system call.

I am now trying to impliment this.

I created this:
def spinner spin_trigger
 while (spin_trigger == true)
  print "\\\r"
  sleep 1
  print "|\r"
  sleep 1
  print "/\r"
  sleep 1
  print "-\r"
  sleep 1
 end
end

spin = true
Thread.new do
  spinner spin
end
files = Dir.glob("c:/**/*.txt")
spin = false

But all I get is a "\" stuck at the beginning of the line until the Dir 
command finishes.

Maybe I am confused about the usage of Thread?
