I would do it by writing a batch file as follows:

export.bat
-------------------------------------------------------------
time /t > exp.log
exp userid=<USERID>/<PW>@<DATABASE> file=<EXP_FILENAME>.dmp
log=exptmp.log tables=(TABLE1,TABLE2,...)
time /t >> exptmp.log
type exptmp.log >> exp.log
del exptmp.log
-------------------------------------------------------------
