[IDD #BJE-199821]: radar data

Hi Elmer,

I think that this request line is the culprit.  In order to match, the
'*' would have to be '.*'.  Your regular expression is asking for all
products whose headers begin with '^rad/NEXRCOMP/1km/n0r_' AND are followed
by multiple '-'; this is not what you want.  Also, it is unnecessary to
specify the '.*' to match the rest of the header since that is the default for
regular expression matching.

I would change the request to:

request FNEXRAD "^rad/NEXRCOMP/1km/n0r_" idd.cise-nsf.gov

and then stop and restart your LDM:

ldmadmin restart

The quotes around the regular expression pattern are not needed _IF_
the pattern does not contain any spaces (so it reads as a single string of
characters/numbers/etc.).

Yes, but were any products listed?

Your pattern looks OK (assuming that tabs are used were needed).

I think that the problem is your request line.

You could change the request line to ".*" just to convince yourself
that your pqact.conf action is OK.  I believe, however, that as soon
as you remove the '*' from the request, things will work as desired.

Cheers,

Tom
