Something reasonably similar to your request already exist in tethereal.
Well in the CVS version at least.

Add the parameter -z proto,colinfo,frame.number,frame.number
to the command line for tethereal and you will get something like
frame.number == x
in the output line for each packet.

You can use -z proto,colinfo   any number of times on the command line.

Wouldnt do this, but using a bunch of -z proto,colinfo   and some sed magic
to extract whatever data you want should be reasonably easy to hack up.


See the manual page for tethereal in current CVS version of ethereal.
