rspec users - Dec 2009 - Listing all specs in a given file

I''m trying to write a simple spec dispatcher, the client-side of which
essentially does the following:

options = Spec::Runner::OptionParser.parse( "#{file}", $stderr,  
std_out )
options.line_number = line
Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(options)

Given a spec file and a line number, it''ll run the spec. Simple enough.

My problem is on the server side trying to pull out individual specs  
to be run out of a file/series of files. The above code works well if  
I pre-populate and array as follows:

queue = [["spec/one_spec.rb", 9],
          ["spec/one_spec.rb", 28],
          ["spec/one_spec.rb", 35]]

But I''m having a hard time figuring out how to pull out a list of  
examples given a spec filename. Is this parsed at some point before  
running, and can I get to that list easily enough?

Thanks for all the help!

I''m not clear on what your goal is here. Can you give a little more
context?
Why do you need a list of examples from a filename?

I''m writing a very simple spec dispatcher, but I want to do it on the  
level of examples. I''d like to be able to send individual examples to  
my clients, have it run and receive the result back. Currently I can  
send a file name and have the entire file run (thus distributing the  
rspec tasks at the file-level), but I''m trying to distribute each  
individual example out.

Thus if I can get a list of examples from a file along with their line  
number, I can put them in a queue and have clients pull them out one  
by one.
