Thanks a lot. I will take a look at this script and see if it can help me.

Additionally, as I have already received a direct reply from someone
wanting details:
- create a script, say "/home/ldm/bin/cutmetars.sh" that looks similar
to this:
-- cut here --
#! /bin/bash
if [ -r /etc/profile ]; then
source /etc/profile
fi
if [ -r ${HOME}/.bashrc ]; then
source ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi
if [ -r ${HOME}/.bash_profile ]; then
source ${HOME}/.bash_profile
fi
finalfile=`echo "${1}" | awk -F"/" '{print $NF}'`
finalpath=`echo "${1}" | sed -e "s/${finalfile}$//g"`
mkdir -p ${finalpath}
cat | tr '\n' '\r' | sed -e "s/ \r\r\r//g" | \
sed -e "s/\r\r\r //g" | sed -e "s/\r\r\r/\r/g" | \
tr '\r' '\n' | grep -E -o "[A-Z][0-9A-Z]{3} [0-9]{6}Z .*" >> ${1}
-- cut here --
Then edit your pqact.conf file to PIPE the incoming METAR/SPECI to this
script:
#
WMO ^S[AP].... .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
PIPE -close /home/ldm/bin/cutmetars.sh
data/metar_list/%Y%m%d_%H.txt
#
Check syntax (you need tabs in particular places that email will
probably not carry):
ldmadmin pqactcheck
Then HUP it:
ldmadmin pqactHUP
This is not bulletproof, it will have both false negative and positives,
but it will work to give you a basic idea of what is coming in.

Stoney's suggestion is about the best, overall. It's not that hard to
accomplish, either. There's some order and hierarchy, but generally, you
just need to know what stations are using which IDs, and grab the ones you
want.
