A:
Looks like you need to truncate file. Do something like:
File.open('/tmp/file', 'w') {|file| file.truncate(0) }

`File.open('/tmp/file', 'w') {}` should be enough.

`truncate` is also available as a class method, there is no need to explicitly open the file: `File.truncate('/path/to/file', 0)`. Note, however, that this is documented as "Not available on all platforms." (Which usually means POSIX only, i.e. no JRuby, no IronRuby, no Windows.)
