This will destroy the content of logfile.txt. For appending to a file 
instead of overwriting it, use "a"

3.times do |n|
  logline = "logline #{n}"
  File.open('D:/temp/logfile1.txt', 'w+') do |f1|
    f1.puts(logline)
  end
  File.open('D:/temp/logfile2.txt', 'a') do |f1|
    f1.puts(logline)
  end
end

hth,
