If you have set the offset and length correct in your dissector, why not have a look at which >bytes are highlighted in the packet bytes pane?


True this exactly how I called this function. Im sorry, what I actually ment was that even if I use some other function such as proto_item_add_text etc., then, in the packet detail pane, only the first few bytes of the buffer are printed ending with three "..." meaning that there is still more in this buffer. I think everything's ok. The way Im calling my function as you pointed out is ok too. Except there are some functions in ethereal that I have to change in order to be able to print the entire buffer instead of the beginning part of it being printed on the packet details pane. So I think I have to change some ethereal functions ( maybe GUI ) in order to be able to print the entire buffer or array on the packet details pane and then compile ethereal again to achieve this. But I dont know what those functions are. Can you tell me what those functions are?

Thanks
