Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Output of 'tshark -T fields' with multiple occurrences of a field

[Martin Visser <martinvisser99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sake,

Not saying that this isn't a good idea (being able to output repeated fields), but I suspect when it gets to stable you might get some complaints. If people use "-T fields" like they do a CSV file, they might be expecting a fixed number of columns. (Currently whether there are 0, 1 or  more instances, I think there are always the same number of commas).

You might want to think about adding this new feature only by adding a new switch (say the -E aggregator switch)

Regards, Martin

Hi,

Recently a lot of questions have been asked on this list (and also at Sharkfest) about the output of 'tshark -T fields -e <field>' when <field> had multiple occurrences in one packet. Only the last occurrence was printed by tshark. I submitted a fix that now prints all occurrences, aggregated by commas (which can be overwritten with -E aggregator=<char>).

The fix will be included in version 1.6.x as well as in the next development release (1.5.x). For the impatient, please use an automated build from http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/ (look for a version 33504 or higher).

Enjoy!
Cheers,


Sake
