Jordon,

looking a typical pqact entry:
                              day        hour
HRS     ^[YZ].(.)... KWB. ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*/m(NGM|RUC)
        FILE
        data/pub/raw/hrs/model/\4/\1/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2\3_\4.wmo

the \1 refers to first set of parens, \2 to second set, etc.  so a product
YEQXXX KWBE 2412  comming in today would result in file

data/pub/raw/hrs/model/RUC/Q/2005062412_RUC.wmo
