Subject: Re: Creating a pacifier in command line program

Well, now I am trying to impliment this into a program.

Example:

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


All I am getting is "\" until the Dir command is complete.
The method works perfectly when not running inside another program.

It must have something to do with the new thread I am creating, but I 
cannot figure out what...hrm.
