However, now I am having a hard time getting the hour written in the filename for light (wxp5) to interpret properly. Here is my old pqact.conf entries # Store in separate 6-min files in yyjjjhhmm.nldn filename NLDN ^(9[3-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9]) FILE -close /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3\4.nldn # Store as hourly file in yyjjjhh.nldn filename NLDN ^(9[3-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9]) FILE -close /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3.nldn Here are my new ones (per Unidata advice on y2k): # Store in separate 6-min files in YYYYjjjhhmm.nldn filename NLDN ^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9]) FILE -close /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3\4.nldn # Store as hourly file in YYYYjjjhh.nldn filename NLDN ^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9]) FILE -close /datt/wxpdata/nldn/\1\2\3.nldn Both new FILE entries leave off the hour information. The first one leaves off the hh and just puts on the mm. The second just tags YYYYjjj (e.g. 2000003.nldn) Does anyone see the problem? Jim -- James P.
