Hi All,
 
I have a big trace file and need to find 3 messages as a group (according to some conditions). These 3 messages look like this:
 
Messages type A,  original MSID (A), Call ID (A)
Messages type B,  original MSID (B), Call ID (B)
Messages type C,  original MSID (C), Call ID (C)
 
The conditions are:
original MSID (A) == original MSID (B)
Call ID (B) ==  Call ID (C)
 
That means I can use original MSID (A) to find message B. After I find message B, I can get Call ID (B), then use Call ID (B) to find messages C.
 
I've tried to write a MATE config file to get these 3 messages as a Gop for a long time. But I could not find a way.
 
Can someone give me some suggestions how to use MATE to get this Gop?
 
Thanks,
Chunfang
