Question : Extract date and part of the line from a log file

Hello Gurus

I have a log file (Web_out.log) that contains the following example lines

2010-07-27 00:00:00 [aaaaaaaaaa] ol/cvw/oihwHWEHVOWNSHHSHSHSOhhhhhhhhh - Exporting data using SQL: SELECT * FROM xxxxxxxxx
any old text here
2010-07-27 00:00:01any old text here
any old text here
any old text here
2010-07-27 00:00:01 [aaaaaaaaaa] ol/cvw/oihwHWEHVOWNSHHSHSHSOhhhhhhhhh - Exporting data to: :\ggggggggg\gggg\g
any old text here
any old text here
2010-07-27 00:01:30 [aaaaaaaaaa] ol/cvw/oihwHWEHVOWNSHHSHSHSOhhhhhhhhh - Exporting data using SQL: SELECT * FROM xxxxxxxxx
any old text here
2010-07-27 00:05:01 any old text here
any old text here
any old text here
2010-07-27 00:30:01any old text here
2010-07-27 00:34:21 [aaaaaaaaaa] ol/cvw/oihwHWEHVOWNSHHSHSHSOhhhhhhhhh - Exporting data to: :\ggggggggg\gggg\g
any old text here

I would like a vbs script that will select out the lines that contain "- Exporting data using SQL:" and "- Exporting data to:" and write then to a log file.
But I do not want the whole line to appear in the log, only the full timestamp and the "- Exporting data using SQL:" and "- Exporting data to:" parts of the line.


example log file (Web_out_results.txt)

2010-07-27 00:00:00 - Exporting data using SQL:
2010-07-27 00:00:01 - Exporting data to:
2010-07-27 00:01:30 - Exporting data using SQL:
2010-07-27 00:34:21 - Exporting data to:
