Partial https downloading using egrep produces different results to NCEP servers

[briwg]

Hi,

When making an egep call using with get_inv.pl and get_grib.pl the AWS GEFS returns different data to NOMADS.

For example:

:(TMP:850 mb|HGT:500 mb|PRMSL|CSNOW.(surface)|APCP|TMAX.(2 m above ground)|TMIN.(2 m above ground)):

Will download the following variables:

APCPsfc 0,1,0 0,1,8,1 ** surface Total Precipitation [kg/m^2]

WEASDsfc 0,1,0 0,1,13 ** surface Water Equivalent of Accumulated Snow Depth [kg/m^2]

On the NOMADS server the same request will return a much smaller and (I think correct) subset of variables:

APCPsfc 0,1,0 0,1,8,1 ** surface Total Precipitation [kg/m^2]
CSNOWsfc 0,1,0 0,1,195,0 ** surface Categorical Snow [-]
HGT500mb 0,100,50000 0,3,5 ** 500 mb Geopotential Height [gpm]
PRMSLmsl 0,101,0 0,3,1 ** mean sea level Pressure Reduced to MSL [Pa]
TMAX2m 0,103,2 0,0,4,2 ** 2 m above ground Maximum Temperature [K]
TMIN2m 0,103,2 0,0,5,3 ** 2 m above ground Minimum Temperature [K]
TMP850mb 0,100,85000 0,0,0 ** 850 mb Temperature [K]

It seems that egrep regex is not working correctly on the AWS servers.
