special thanks to you TIG, the timer was genius idea .

the problem is that I need the update-data in each cycle and the provider (the one that send the text files) is the one that decides when the reading action should stop. similar to web browsers when we want to get notified when sth changes.
I am using the sleep to make the action less frequent in the hope of achieving more/better iterations.
does that make sense? is there a better solution?

well, we can change the sleep time (or we can omit it) but still 3-times reading is the best I can get out of this.

thanks for your quick reply TIG.
so the code would be sth like this:

continuereading=0

def reeed(continuereading)
lines = IO.readlines("C:/GHConnection/temp.txt")
return (lines[0]).to_i
end

while ((reeed (continuereading)))==1
puts ('I am Reading the Source file')
sleep(3)
end

it works fine but again it is 2 slow; all the characters in my text-file do not add up to 100 yet after iteration 3 the solution is practically worthless.

by the way you should replace ContinueReading with continuereading

the code would be:
continuereading=0

def reeed(continuereading)
k=[]
File.open("C:/GHConnection/temp.txt", "r") do |f|
f.each_line do |e|
k<<e
end
end
continuereading= k[0].to_i

puts (k[0])
return continuereading
end

while reeed(continuereading)==1
reeed(continuereading)
puts ('I am Reading the Source file')
sleep(3)
break if reeed(continuereading)==0
end

hello.
I have a Ruby code that I want to use to gather data but it is to slow;
does anybody know why>?

ContinueReading=0

def reeed(ContinueReading)
k=[]
File.open("C:/TT/temp.txt", "r") do |f|
f.each_line do |e|
k<<e
end
end
ContinueReading=k[0].to_i
puts (k[0])
return ContinueReading
end

while reeed(ContinueReading)==1
reeed(ContinueReading)
puts ('I am Reading the Source file')
sleep(3)
break if reeed(ContinueReading)==0
end
