This is what I needed.

Thanks.

Aaron,

The conventional solution to grab all products
starting with "U", but excluding your 2 patterns would be:
^U([^AB]|A[^P]|AP[^A]|B[^U]|BU[^S])

The "^" character within the set [] specified "not".

Subject: Inverted pqact.conf matches

The above message contained the following:

Is there a way to match everything EXCEPT what you specify?

For instance, I want to put some PIREPs in a couple of different files
so I have

^UAPA.*
FILE ......

^UBUS.*
FILE ......

and then I want to match everything that starts with a U but doesn't
match the rest of the above.  Any ideas?  I'm coming up blank.

There's no way to do this directly.  One could probably use the
"^_ELSE_$" ERE and a script that ignored data-products whose product-ID
started with "U" to accomplish this, e.g.,

   IDS|DDPLUS   ^_ELSE_$        PIPE    special_script

This entry would have to be after all the other entries and the script
would have to know what to do with the data product.
