Using a script inside a foreach loop.

I am trying to output shape reports for all etch shapes in order to check them for errors.
My foreach loop works for normal skill commands but breaks after the first pass when I use
my script to create a report:

        l_etchShapes = axlDBGetShapes( "ETCH" )

       foreach( _testEtchShape l_etchShapes

               println(list( "Shape Layer 1 = " _testEtchShape->layer )) ;print for debug

               axlClearSelSet()
               axlSingleSelectObject( _testEtchShape )
               axlSetActiveLayer( _testEtchShape->layer )
               axlVisibleDesign( nil )
               axlVisibleLayer( _testEtchShape->layer t )
               axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("NOALL" "SHAPES" ) ?onButtons list("ALL"))

                       shpInstOut = outfile("./shape_rep.scr")
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "scriptmode +w +i\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "setwindow pcb\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "generaledit\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "shape select\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "pick grid %L\n", car( _testEtchShape->bBox ))
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "pop shape report\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "setwindow text\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "save\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "fillin \"temp_shp_report.txt\"\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "setwindow text\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "close\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "done\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "setwindow pcb\n" )
                               fprintf( shpInstOut "generaledit\n" )
                       close( shpInstOut )
                   axlShell("replay ./shape_rep.scr")
               println(list( "Shape Layer 2 = " _testEtchShape->layer )) ;print for debug

           );foreach

Can anyone tell me how to keep the loop from being broken by the script?

In short you can't. When you play a script inside of SKILL all the dbids go out-of-date. You would have to create a script for each shape, then replay the scripts.
