cristian: thanks a lot tony and hadriel. it works. otoh I need to dive a little bit more into this lua language. one more thing though. suppose I do this in the tap.packet(): local tags = { m3ua_param_tag() } for i,t in ipairs( tags ) do print("tag no:", i, "tag type:", t, tonumber(t)); local t_no_space = string.gsub(tostring(t), "%s*(%w+)%s*", "%1") print("tag type:", t_no_space, tonumber(t_no_space)); end the output looks like this: tag no: 1 tag type: 512 nil tag type: 512 512 why are there TABS (!!) in the string representation of t, i?? tonumber() won't work on t,i as they are, returning "nil"... it works after removing them with the string pattern match/replace.

NOT necessarly the first. for example, using: local param_len = Field.new("m3ua.parameter_length") and later on in the tap.packet(): local len = param_len() will get me only the length of whatever is the first m3ua parameter. how to get the length of the second, third aso??Try this Lua: function tap.packet() local lengths = { param_len() } for i,len in ipairs( lengths ) do print( '['..i..']', len ) end end ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
