Code:

puts "Print your age"
a=gets()
puts "Timeout. 20 Seconds Gone. Please re-run the Applciation"


Need:

a=gets() is waiting for input. I need to wait only 20 seconds. If therre
is no input for 20 seconds then script should continue the next line


Thanks

Look at the Timeout standard library :

begin
Timeout.timeout(20) do
a = gets()
end
rescue Timeout::Error
puts "Timeout. 20 seconds gone, etc"
end

require 'timeout'
a = nil
begin
puts "Print your age"
Timeout.timeout(20) do
a = gets
end
rescue Timeout::Error
puts "Timeout. 20 Seconds Gone. Please re-run the Applciation"
end

Hi Brain and Senault,

The script is still waiting for input from User.

** But the same timeout code works for while loop printing up to 1000.

I am using Windows XP Service pack 2, Ruby 1.8.7

Thanks

If you try the code with Ruby 1.9.1
(http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71495/rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p429.exe),
It will work.
