Getting a pcap filename from a Lua script

["Maayan Zadik" <maayanz () designartnetworks com>]

Hi,

 

I have several Lua scripts that display different analyses on a
displayed capture file (*.pcap extension). 

That is, the capture is opened from outside the script, and only after
that can the scripts be run.

 

I want to save these analyses to a log file. Current I save the log file
under the name "log_<timestamp>", where <timestamp> is the time I
created the log.

But the timestamp still makes it hard to know for which pcap the log was
created, if I run the analyses for several files sequentially. 

 

Is there a way to retrieve the capture file name from inside the Lua
script, that way I can name the log: "<filename>_log"?

This will make is easier to link between the log and the pcap it was
created for.

 

 

Regards,
