Subject: PATTERN MATCHING 2 LINES IN PQACT.CONF


Hi!

I would like to set up my pqact.conf file to route certain reports to
specifc programs/people.  As long as the reports have unique headers, it is
straight-forward.  But I am not sure how to handle the following situation:

I have a single header which is used for SEVERAL different reports.  It is
the second and/or third line which makes the report unique.  How would I
set up a pqact.conf line item to do pattern matching on more than one line?

For example:
Here's a desired product with a header which is used for several other
undesired products.

742 
SRUS51 KPHI 221222
RR1PHL
.BR PHL  0622 DH12/PPP
PHL .03,ABE .01,ACY .14,MIV .06,ILG .05
WRI .07,NXX .04,DOV .11,PNE .10,EWR T
TTN .08,SMQ .03,MPO .01,GED .08,VAY .26
12N .02,RDG .02,BLM .05,WWD .05
CDW .05
.END

In this example, a pattern match on the header line AND the second line
would allow this DESIRED product to be sent to the right person/program.  

THE BIG QUESTION: How do you do a pattern match for the second line?
