Re: [Wtr-general] Concurrent Threads and different variables in each thread
if you don't join the threads the execution will stop when program exists.

It's not pretty, and if I wanted 5 or 20 threads it would mean writing
these lines of code 10 or 40 times. Must be a cleaner way?

Yes - an array - you'll figure it out ;-)

[Wtr-general] Concurrent Threads and different variables in each thread
What would you suggest for running mutiple threads, BUT each thread using
different variables. I've 'stolen' the following code from Brett (thanks!)
which does exactly as expected, BUT how would I, for instance, search for a
different value (instead of 'pickaxe') in each thread?

Could I pass some arguments to +Thread.new(args)+, or should I simply create 3
threads as such:
> a = Thread.new { yada yada }
> b = Thread.new { yada yada }
> c = Thread.new { yada yada }
I also don't quite understand why the *threads.each {|x| x.join}* command
exists ?
