Hi folks.

I'm currently working on pulling specific data from a packet once they've
clicked on some packet detail. For example, if the user clicks on a bit
code in the packet body, I want to also pull the source IP address of that
packet. Is there a way to search the packet body by field name or pulling
the packet details into an object of some sort to parse this information?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer in this matter.


Can you give a bit more context?  I assume that this is the context of
writing a protocol dissector?  What are you planning to do with, for
example, the IP address?
