Brian, > I've never really been all that good with regular expressions > unfortunately. I usually end up figuring out the correct cryptology in > pqact.conf eventually through trial and error, but not this time. I put together a terse summary of extended regular expressions at <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/ERE.html>. It also has a link to the definitive web pages. > My dilemma is this ... we're receiving products in our LDM pq and > sometimes the product contains a full path name and other times it > doesn't.

I think this will do what you want: EXP (........_...._sport_goesimager_conus_icecap.gz)$ FILE /home/ldm/data/ICECAP/\1 Be sure to separate the fields with tabs and not spaces. You can verify the regular expression via the command "pqcat -vl- -o 3600 -f EXP -p ... >/dev/null" > Thanks, > Brian Hoeth > NWS Spaceflight Meteorology Group > Houston, TX Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NUV-722205 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
