| Hi list,
| 
| I'm really (very) glad the PCRE library also supports pattern 
| matching in
| binary data. As a result, I checked in support for the 
| "matches" operator
| for FT_TVBUFF (read: protocol fields). This means you can 
| write display
| filters like 'http matches "(?i)ethereal"' or 'data matches 
| "pattern"'.

As suggested by Gilbert, I just checked in PCRE support for FT_BYTES (and
FT_ETHER).

Does anyone think IPv4/IPv6 addresses should also participate in a matches
operation?

Regards,

Olivier
