Redirecting the output of a script into a text file when in a loop

 ic6.1.8 (19)  I can't seem to find a helpful link anywhere...

Dealing with two separate *.il files and one output file to write to.

script_1  prints what it finds to the CIW (the things I want it to and it works great).

script_2  opens an outfile(report_file), loops through a list of cells and invokes script_1 when a valid condition is found.

I cannot find a way to get the output of script_1 into the report_file.

All the fprintf statements in script_2 get into the report_file, but none of the printf() statements from the call to script_1.

I have attempted many combinations of things, all to no avail.

What am I missing?  ((thank you in advance))  Here's an oversimplified example of the essence:

script_1:

procedure( script_1( lay sch)

let( ()

printf("\nChecking through lay and sch \n Found something or nothing\n printing results here:\n")

printf("\nDone with printing what was found... or not\n")

));let proc

script_2:

procedure( script_2( lay sch)

let( (report_file listofcells lay sch)

report_file=outFile( filenamefromform~>value )

listofcells==(getOrMakeAListOfCells)

foreach( cell listofcells

fprintf(report_file "\n looking for lay and sch to give script_1\n")

fprintf(report_file "Found and sending to script_1\n")

script_1( lay sch)         ;;;;<-- what is the right call here to get script_1 text into the report_file?? CIW is not enough

fprintf(report_file "Done with script_1\n")

);foreach

close(report_file)

(view filenamefromform~>value nil "Report _ File" )

));let proc
