I love happy endings!! :-)

The only differences in the LDM/IDD Product IDs for the 4km VIS and 1km
VIS are:

- product codes:

  UV - GOES East 0.63 um VIS 4km
  EV - GOES East 0.63 um VIS 1km

- resolution

Given this, you should be able to use the same action as you are
using for the 4km GOES-East VIS by adding an 'E' in the appropriate
part of the extended regular expression you are using.  For instance:

If this is your current action:

# Vis (0.65 um) - Relaxed to account for channel change 3/2014 cch
UNIWISC ^pnga2area Q. (U[^ACXY13]) (.*) (.*)_IMG (0.6[235])um (.*) (........) 
(....)
      PIPE -close  pnga2area -vl logs/ldm-mcidas.log
      -a etc/SATANNOT
      -b etc/SATBAND
      data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/\3/\5/VIS/VIS_\6_\7

then the addition that is needed is:

# Vis (0.65 um) - Relaxed to account for channel change 3/2014 cch
UNIWISC ^pnga2area Q. ([EU][^ACXY13]) (.*) (.*)_IMG (0.6[235])um (.*) 
(........) (....)
      PIPE -close  pnga2area -vl logs/ldm-mcidas.log
      -a etc/SATANNOT
      -b etc/SATBAND
      data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/\3/\5/VIS/VIS_\6_\7

This should end up creating a 1km node in the directory hierarchy
being specified:

4km:
data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/\3/4km/VIS/VIS_\6\7

1km:
data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/\3/1km/VIS/VIS_\6\7

NB: Remember that 'notifyme' is your best friend since it allows
you to test patterns used in data REQUEST(s) and pattern-action
file actions!!

re:
> Thanks for your help.

No worries.  I'm glad to hear that data you are receiving is now
being processed so that you can use it.

Cheers,

Tom
