[kem <kem2@xxxxxxx>]

Trying to run awk against the output from tethereal -V to pull selected 
fields out of a given frame.  I am specifying the Field Separator as 
newline and the Record Separator as blank line:
BEGIN { FS = "\n"; RS = "" }
	{ print $1, $2, $3 }

The problem is there is an empty line before the data field on frames 
that have data.  There does not seem to be any consistent end of frame 
text I can use as the RS.

Would it be possible to either remove the space from before the data 
field or put some end of record indicator at the end of the frame 
output?

Thanks
