Thanks KenJackson!!
This code looks very straight-forward but the only problem is this particular log file will have entries for past executions as well. I am going to try to keep separate log file for different 'Events' to avoid the log file from capturing mutiple 'Event' executions at the same time.
I am jut throwing this idea out there, can we have a secondary log file which is generated from the master log file but it only captures the current execution with an override function? if this is somewhat possible we can potentially have the script you built to go against the secondary log file all the time.
This does sound a little complex to me, let me know what you think?
