There are several ways to obtain the result that you are trying to
obtain, but they basically belong to two categories:

- either you run two separate processes, and you use one of the
  available methods of inter-process communications to let one process
  know information from the other process,

- or you run two threads within the same process: threads share the
  memory space, so one thread can access data generated by the other.

The wording of your question shows that you do not have much
experience on this. If you want to learn, you must be ready to spend
some time studying and experimenting. Concurrent programming can
be unexpectedly complex.

The second method may be a bit easier to tackle, at the beginning. I
suggest that you read carefully the help page for Ruby threads. You
obtain it by typing:

ri Thread

from your command prompt. The first method can be obtained in Ruby,
for example, by using DRb, which also has a long and informative help
page:

ri DRb
