Hi,
You may want to look at Lua for that.
Thanx,

Hi,
I'm new in Wireshark development; I've just coded my first dissector
for
one of our company-specific protocols, and I'm going to write the
next.
However my impression is, that simple protocols might be described
pretty well by structured texts/files (e.g. XML files), because most
of
my code is just about formatting the data (texts, values, etc.) and
defining the tree structure.
Defining protocol dissectors in text metafiles for Wireshark would
have
many advantages: no need for installing the whole development
environment for adding just a simple protocol, moreover it would be no
software development work any more to add protocol to Wireshark.
Is there any existing possibility to define dissector from meta-file
instead of coding, or is there any ongoing development in this
direction?
Thanks,
Tamas
