Re: How to show ip address by Lua in wireshark

[Beth <beth.tridium () gmail com>]

In Lua, userdata is a different type from a string.  The %s tells Wireshark
to expect a string, but the ipv4() method returns a specialized format that
is not necessarily printable.

To print the address in the display tree, you need to find a way to convert
those bytes to a string, or else find a different datatree:add() method that
accepts the ipv4 format data.  (If you can find the latter, that would be
the better solution.)

BTW, you may need to upgrade to a newer version than 1.1.1 to get all the
latest Lua functionality.
