Hi folks,

## The code below almost works perfect. Thus it creates the text files with the right content. However, the name of the text file should correspond to the Bugtraq ID. As of now it’s Bugtraq ID 1 and 3.txt, 2-2, and Bugtraq ID 3

1.txt. What do I have to correct? Is it index - 1?

Thanks,  
Tom

What about more explicit id using thread-local storage:  
…

- thread[:bug\_id] = id

- tgroup.list.each\_with\_index do |thread, index|

- tgroup.list.each do |thread|

> if doc = thread.value

- 

```
File.open( "#{ index + 1 }.txt", 'w+' ) do |file|

```

- 

```
File.open( "#{thread[:bug_id]}.txt", 'w+' ) do |file|

```
