Beth,

Last week, I mentioned in my decoders talk that one could slighty modify
the metarWriter decoder to write the output to STDOUT.  The code was
commented to block the write to the station file and then to STDOUT. ie

               #open( STN, ">>$stn_name" ) ;
               #print STN "$_\n" ;
               #close STN ;
               print STDOUT "$_\n" ;


A pqact entry would probably look similar to this:

# All aviation reports including metar tests, broken/written to stn files
DDS|IDS ^S(A....|P....|XUS8.) .... ([0-3][0-9])
       PIPE    /local/ldm/decoders/metarWriter  (\2:yyyy)(\2:mm) | yourdecoder
