Re: Lua: detect capture filename and end of captur

[Tony Trinh <tony19 () gmail com>]

No, neither is possible from Wireshark Lua, but you don't need to know any
of that if you're just interested in collecting statistics for a particular
capture file.

tshark (with awk) might be the better solution in this case. See the *-z
parameter* in the man-page for tshark:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html

But if you really want to use Lua, you can run a Lua tap on a capture file
(from tshark).
