20010511: 20010510: uncompressed level-2 data (fwd)

Celia,

The uncommented (second) action only has 4 sets of (), so it is 
incorrect to expect \5. The one with the ([^/]*) pattern is commented out
in your message below.

Given a data file named:
L2-BZIP2/KHTX/20010510215950/70/51

A reasonable pattern would be:

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/\1/\2_\3_\4.dc
