Hi folks,
I see from the newsgroup that it's possible for me to filter the displayed packets within a time range by doing something like:
 
frame.time >= "Aug 1, 2001 00:52:34" && frame.time <= "Aug 1, 2001 00:55:34"
 
My question is: can I filter and then display the captured packets by using only a time range and not a date range? For example, I have a capture that spans several days but I want to only see the packets captured between 4:00-8:00 am. on all days of the capture. Is this possible? Is there a wildcard character that I can use in ethereal in place of the actual date. Or, in a worse case scenario, can I do something like:
 
frame.time >= "Aug 1, 2001 00:52:34" && frame.time <= "Aug 1, 2001 00:55:34" &&
frame.time >= "Aug 1, 2001 00:57:34" && frame.time <= "Aug 1, 2001 00:59:34" ???
 
I tried something very similar to this, and it didn't seem to work. It didn't produce an error message, it just didn't work.
 
Suggestions???
 
Thank you,
Ed
