OK. The NAM218 grids (grib2 format) are in the NGRID data stream. re: > Can't figure out what is the correct command line in pqact.conf. Here is the pattern-action file action that we use for TDS processing: NGRID ^[LM].B... KWBE ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*NAM_84/#218 FILE data/pub/native/grid/NCEP/NAM/CONUS_12km/NAM_CONUS_12km_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\200.grib2 NB: Please remember that some of the white space in this example action are tabs, not spaces!! The action should be read as: NGRID<tab>^[LM].B... KWBE ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*NAM_84/#218 <tab>FILE <tab>data/pub/native/grid/NCEP/NAM/CONUS_12km/NAM_CONUS_12km_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\200.grib2 Where you choose to write the data is, of course, up to you. Please remember that you should setup scouring of the directories created by your action so that your disk does not fill-up! Please let us know if this was enough information for your needs...
