Revision history [back]

First, you don't need to add the dofile(DATA_DIR.."omci.lua") to init.lua.

The 2 Lua files were written long ago and BinDecHex.lua requires at least the following 2 tweaks to work now, which I've made and uploaded back to the https://wiki.wireshark.org/Contrib page.

Change line 53 from:

module(..., package.seeall);

To:

module("BinDecHex", package.seeall);

The module function is deprecated as of Lua 5.2, as mentioned in section 8 of the Lua 5.2 Reference Manual - Incompatibilities with the Previous Version.

And change line 135 from:

for i in string.gfind(s, ".") do

to:

for i in string.gmatch(s, ".") do

Function string.gfind was renamed string.gmatch, as mentioned in section 7.2 of the Lua 5.1 Reference Manual - [Changes in the Libraries].

Wireshark currently ships with Lua 5.2.4 (on Windows), so always use the Lua 5.2 Reference Manual when writing or dealing with Lua dissectors.
