Celia, Your uncommented action: NMC3 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9][0-2][0-9][0-5][0-9][0-9][0-9])/(..)/(..) PIPE /home/ldm/bin/nexradII_bz /scratch/ldm/level2_dc/\2/\3_\5.dc does not have 5 parentheses () sets, so your use of \5 is incorrect. You are not using \4 in the above action.
