Hi,

I do a lot of tracing which requires searching / filtering on the data
stream.

I have tried the "Find Frame" and "Filtering" options with the following
parameters.  

smb[0:] == 43:00:6f:00:6d:00:6d:00:    ;I copied the hex data stream from
the hex data of a trace.
ip[0:] == 43:00:6f:00:6d:00:6d:00:    ;I copied the hex data stream from the
hex data of a trace.
tcp[0:] == 43:00:6f:00:6d:00:6d:00:    ;I copied the hex data stream from
the hex data of a trace.
data[0:] == 43:00:6f:00:6d:00:6d:00:    ;I copied the hex data stream from
the hex data of a trace.

I've have also tried to search for hex streams that were not separated by
the 00 hex characters as in the above example, same results.


Applying as a Filter displays no results and Find Frame responds with a "No
Packet Matched Filter" message.  

I am guessing Ethereal dose not support this, but as it is important to me I
want to make sure before I abandon it for this application.

Thanks for any feed back.

John
