Logging cmd in multiple diary

Hi,

i'm facing an issue in logging using the matlab 'diary' functionality. In the below pseudo-code i have 2 tools and both use diary to log the command window output and one is calling other. The diary off for 2nd tool is terminating the diary for the 1st tool as well due to which the remaining cmd display is not getting logged anywhere.

Here is how the logs are:

Is there a way to use 'diary' or some other functionality that would help is logging the command window output for the beow example ?

logger1();

Initialzing logger 1
Display Message 1
Initialzing logger 2
Display Message 1
End Log
Display Message 2
End Log

function logger1()
    logName = fullfile(pwd, 'log1.txt');
    diary(logName);
    fprintf('Initialzing logger 1\n');
    fprintf('Display Message 1\n');
    logger2;
    fprintf('Display Message 2\n');
    fprintf('End Log\n');
    diary off
end

function logger2()
    logName = fullfile(pwd, 'log2.txt');
    diary(logName);
    fprintf('Initialzing logger 2\n');
    fprintf('Display Message 1\n');
    fprintf('End Log\n');
    diary off
end

You can restore diary logging to log1.txt after logger2 finishes:

logger1();

function logger1()
    logName = fullfile(pwd, 'log1.txt');
    diary(logName);
    fprintf('Initialzing logger 1\n');
    fprintf('Display Message 1\n');
    logger2;
    diary(logName); % <- restore diary logging to log1.txt
    fprintf('Display Message 2\n');
    fprintf('End Log\n');
    diary off
end
function logger2()
    logName = fullfile(pwd, 'log2.txt');
    diary(logName);
    fprintf('Initialzing logger 2\n');
    fprintf('Display Message 1\n');
    fprintf('End Log\n');
    diary off
end

Of course, another option is to fprintf to the particular file you want to write to instead of fprintf-ing to the command window and using diary.
