This is what I needed.
Thanks.

Aaron,
The conventional solution to grab all products
starting with "U", but excluding your 2 patterns would be:
^U([^AB]|A[^P]|AP[^A]|B[^U]|BU[^S])
The "^" character within the set [] specified "not".

Subject: Inverted pqact.conf matches
The above message contained the following:
Is there a way to match everything EXCEPT what you specify?
For instance, I want to put some PIREPs in a couple of different files
so I have
^UAPA.*
FILE ......
^UBUS.*
FILE ......
and then I want to match everything that starts with a U but doesn't
match the rest of the above. Any ideas? I'm coming up blank.
There's no way to do this directly. One could probably use the
"^_ELSE_$" ERE and a script that ignored data-products whose product-ID
started with "U" to accomplish this, e.g.,
IDS|DDPLUS ^_ELSE_$ PIPE special_script
This entry would have to be after all the other entries and the script
would have to know what to do with the data product.

Thanks.
