I don't see why you would do it that way rather than use pqact(1). The actions 
you describe could be accomplished by the following pqact.conf entries:

ANY     test123         FILE    -close test123
ANY     aaa\.txt        FILE    -close aaa.txt

You could do the same thing using pqact(1), but it would be less efficient that 
using pqact(1). For example

    pqcat -f ANY -p test123 >test123
    pqcat -f ANY -p 'aaa\.txt' >aaa.txt
