I agree that it would be good to be able to save the statitics
to a text file from the Conversation List dialogue box in Ethereal.
 
When I want to extract statistics I normally use a batch-script that
calls Tethereal (the non-GUI version of Ethereal).
You can get conversation list statistics by using the -Z conv,type[,filter]
option from the tethereal command line.

The Conversation List!  I need to copy and past from those dialog boxes.

 

The only way I can access that data now, is to:

  1. Use IRFANVIEW to capture the screen.
  2. Crop out all but the text in the window.
  3. Print it to a printer.
  4. Put it on my Scanner, Scan it into Paper Port.
  5. Copy the image to MS – WORD – (This causes an OCR step.)
  6. Review the OCR for errors.
  7. Copy and paste from Word into Excel.

 

Then I can use the data for performance calculations.

 

Can’t we just have a “Write this to CSV” function?

Or Copy to the Clipboard in CSV?

 

Then I could past it into Excel.
