This is more of a string manipulation question...

We have a nice dump of only hex values, but how can I make that one
complete line?  I like my lines long!

Thanks all

Oops, I accidentally didn't do it to the list originally...

tethereal -x | \
gawk -F "  " '{if (length($1) == 4) print $2; else print $0}'

I don't know why it wouldn't work for you...  I tested it with cygwin.
Are
you running this from the command line, or is it in some kind of script?
I
believe that if it is in a script the $1, $2 and $0 will get
reinterpreted...
