Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Trying to compare two traces at both server and client side

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The compare feature is driven from the command line option:
"compare,%d,%d,%d,%d,%lf,%n". This format is scanned from the parameters, either 
from the command line or the dialog. The problem is that the time variance 
parameter is a floating point, where the separator is expected to be a '.'. If 
your locale has ',' as separator you end up with the partial bit of the time 
variance as part of the filter, like you see.

Thanks,
Jaap
