Hi Matt, putting all keywords in one item should work for you. You could use a display filter like yourProtocol.yourFieldname contains "keyword_to_search_for" That should find all packets with the desired keyword. BTW, using "matches" (instead of contains) enables you to use regular expressions. cheers Mike -----Original Message----- From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of Teto Sent: Donnerstag, 27.

I have a packet with a field contianing several keywords. I intend to split those keywords so that one can filter display based upon a keyword. My problem is am compelled to display each keyword separately (one itemp per kewyord and group them in a subtree) or could I display all of them in one item in the main tree (my preference) and then create several hidden fields (one per keyword). I wonder if that last solution is good since I read in proto.h : /* HIDING PROTOCOL FIELDS IS DEPRECATED, IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE BAD GUI DESIGN! */ What would you advise me ?
