Combining two file write commands

Ruby
#1

First, let me think everyone for the wonderful advice, especially,
Jeremy. I would like to combine the following statements into one
statement. Any ideas, or do I need to keep them separate?

outfile.write(line) if line =~ search_text
outfile2.write(line2) unless line2 =~ search_text2

Each of these writes is executed under separate conditions, so they need
to be kept separate. The writes are also called on different objects,
so there is no way to unify them into a single write call in any case.
Assuming your conditionals could be unified, the best you could do is
something like this:

if line =~ search_text then
outfile.write(line)
outfile2.write(line2)
end
