Make log for deleted files using VBScript - vbscript

Question

The below is my code to delete DAT files.
OPTION EXPLICIT
DIM strExtensionsToDelete,strFolder
DIM objFSO, MaxAge, IncludeSubFolders
' ************************************************************
' Setup
' ************************************************************
' Folder to delete files
strFolder = "E:\test"
' Delete files from sub-folders?
includeSubfolders = true
' A comma separated list of file extensions
' Files with extensions provided in the list below will be deleted
strExtensionsToDelete = "dat"
' Max File Age (in Days). Files older than this will be deleted.
maxAge = 0
' ************************************************************
set objFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
DeleteFiles strFolder,strExtensionsToDelete, maxAge, includeSubFolders
wscript.echo "Finished"
sub DeleteFiles(byval strDirectory,byval strExtensionsToDelete,byval maxAge,includeSubFolders)
DIM objFolder, objSubFolder, objFile
DIM strExt
set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
for each objFile in objFolder.Files
for each strExt in SPLIT(UCASE(strExtensionsToDelete),",")
if RIGHT(UCASE(objFile.Path),LEN(strExt)+1) = "." & strExt then
IF objFile.DateLastModified < (Now - MaxAge) THEN
wscript.echo "Deleting:" & objFile.Path & " | " & objFile.DateLastModified
objFile.Delete
exit for
END IF
end if
next
next
if includeSubFolders = true then ' Recursive delete
for each objSubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
DeleteFiles objSubFolder.Path,strExtensionsToDelete,maxAge,includeSubFolders
next
end if
end sub
Now i want to create a log files to store the deleted files information (such as name of the file, when the script is run and user who run this script). Can any one help me with this ?
Thanks in Advance..

If I should go with your style pattern.
' outside your DeleteFiles()
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set LogFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(objFSO.GetTempName)
LogFile.WriteLine "DateTime: " & Now
LogFile.WriteLine "UserName: " & CreateObject("WScript.NetWork").UserName
DeleteFiles ...
' outside your DeleteFiles()
LogFile.Close
WScript.Echo "Finished"
Sub DeleteFiles(...
' inside For..Next in DeleteFiles()
LogFile.WriteLine objFile.Path
End Sub
