Hi Tim,

The LDM uses extended regular expressions. I am not 100% sure that this is
exactly
the same as Perl, but it should be very close.

Yes, this pattern-action entry matches the LDM/IDD Product ID that begins with
"SAUS";
is followed by any two characters; is followed by one space; and finally is
followed by
any 4 characters in the IDS|DDPLUS datastream.
NB: The regular expression will match Product IDs that have characters past the
4 that are matched at the end of this extended regular expression. They are
not,
however, available for use in the action (FILE surface/US/\2/\1) because they
were not "trapped" by a parenthetical expression.
re:
> Effectively getting everything highlighted above, grabbing only the “60” and
> “KWOH” and outputting a file name of “surface/US/KWOH/60” .
Yes. Furthermore, since the LDM change roots actions to ~ldm/data, the
full output file name will be ~ldm/data/surface/US/KWOH/60.
re:

The extended regular expressions in a pattern-action file are used to match
against
the full Product ID, and 'notifyme' lists show the full Product ID. 'notifyme'
output
includes additional information that can be of interest.
In the line:
Nov 08 19:24:27 notifyme[14980] INFO: 4652 20111108191322.461 NEXRAD3 220186873
SDUS72 KMHX 081912 /pN0ZMHX
we find:
Nov 08 19:24:27 - date/time that 'notifyme' recorded the product
INFO: - indication of information type of message
4652 - product size [bytes]
20111108191322.461 - CCYYMMDDHHmmss.msec the product was "created"
(first put into an
LDM queue
NEXRAD3 - feed type that the product was in
220186873 - feed-specific info (typically a sequence number
or something similar)
SDUS72 KMHX 081912 /pN0ZMHX - full Product ID
The Product ID is the _only_ thing available to match against in pattern-action
entries.
Cheers,
Tom
