Hi,

   By chance I noticed that there is text2pcap-scanner.c which is based
on text2pcap-scanner.l, but the file is not in repository.
   It was there, but was removed.

   Was removal intended?

Yes, ui/text_import_scanner.l now handles processing both for text2pcap and for the "Import from Text" feature within the GUI, so that they share code and functionality doesn't get out of alignment. There's a large set of text2pcap changes mentioned in the release notes for 4.0
