Use display filter functions in column definitions
I can create a display filter to display frames with more than one expert info:
count(_ws.expert.message)>4
Would be nice to be able to add a column count(_ws.expert.message)
to sort on and have available when analyzing.
There doesn't seem to be a length field for tcp.options so a column len(tcp.options)
would be nice.
TCP options aren't broken down into occurrences so something like count(tcp.option_len)
(doesn't count NOPs) to compare different TCP handshakes.
Don't have a use case for upper, lower or string but include for completeness? Each use would be standalone - not dependent on other packets or fields - so maybe just an extension of the column definition language?
