Use build output instead of logging to file. Instead of copy/paste, simply click somewhere in the output and press CTRL + S to save. Visual Studio will prompt you for a location (tested with Visual Studio 2017, but I'm assuming this works in earlier versions too).
The msdn documentation is pretty clear about this (And you ain't gonna like it!):

Where it says:
To create a build log file for a managed-code project On the menu bar, choose Build, Build Solution.
In the Output window, highlight the information from the build, and then copy it to the Clipboard.
Open a text editor, such as Notepad, paste the information into the file, and then save it.
