All,
Has anyone written anything to pull information from the nodes in the
data tree that are created when a protocol is recognized? I would like
to pull the information rather than creating a program to take the piped
input and output only the fields I really need.
Guy, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. You seem to be the most
knowledgeable of the tool and have been answering everyone's questions.
that is why I addressed you in the email.

You are asking ethereal-users, which is the right thing to do, not just
asking me, as that would be the wrong thing to do. (It is almost
*always* the wrong thing to do to ask only me questions about Ethereal,
Tethereal, tcpdump, libpcap, and the like, as that assumes that I will
be able to answer the question better than anybody else, which is often
an incorrect presumption - I might not be able to answer it at all, or
somebody else might have a better answer.)

There is no other form of output available from Tethereal, as nobody's
written any code to do that. You'd have to write a script to parse the
one-line summary or full-blown breakdown, or modify the Tethereal code.
