Hi,
Does any one know is it possible to do any level of scripting in ethereal?
i've got a few 100mb+ captures, which takes a while to filter through
to find what i'm looking for.

to do something like:
ip.addr == (select radius.Framed_IP_Address from radius where
radius.Calling_Station_Id == "1234567890")

The select/from/where syntax is just used as an example.

There's currently no scripting support implemented or even planned to be implemented.

There's a very old WishList item to add scripting support, but no effort in that direction, so don't expect anything here ...

I was hoping that there is some option within the ethereal console (or
soemthing similar) that would allow this.
I don't know an Ethereal console ...
