In a pqact(1) entry, you might have to use something like "(.*HSTN.*)" in order 
to be able to backreference all the other characters when generating the 
pathname of the output file.

The context in which I mentioned a ".*" prefix or suffix was the ALLOW entries 
in the LDM configuration-file. In this context, no backreferencing is possible.
