Christian,
Use the pqsuft utility already in the LDM. This breaks up bulletins
containing
METARs into individual "bulletins", one "bulletin" per METAR. You can then
FILE the metars by ICAO ID.
To do this, add a line like this to you ldmd.conf file
exec "pqsurf -p ^(S[APX]) -Q /home/ldm/data/pqsurf.pq -d /home/ldm
/home/ldm/etc/pqsurf.conf"
and then create a pqsurf.conf file that has an entry something like:
WMO ^(metar|speci) (....) ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]) FILE
/home/ldm/data/(\3:yyyy)(\3:mm)\3\4.\2.metar
Which creates files named <YYYYMMDD>.<ICAO>.metar.
You will need to create a pqsurf product queue using "ldmadmin mksurfqueue".
