Script to search a library for each instantiation of a cell layout.

I'm looking for a way in SKILL to traverse a library for each instantiation of a cell layout.  The output can just be thrown to a single text report of the hierarchy of each individual cell finding.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Try this

    procedure(findAllHierarchyInstances(cv)
    let( (subCell
    (visited makeTable('visited nil))
    )
    visited[geGetEditCellView()] = t

    foreach(inst0 cv~>instances
        unless(visited[inst0]
            visited[inst0~>master]=t
            subCell = dbOpenCellViewByType(inst0~>libName inst0~>cellName inst0~>viewName)
            foreach(inst1 findAllHierarchyInstances(subCell)
                visited[inst1]=t)
            )
        )
    visited~>?
    )); end of findAllHierarchyInstances
