Bah! I thought that might work...but alas, not quite as I actually need the info in the Hex pane (sorry forgot to mention)...this only gave me summarized info of the "middle" pane. And I am specifically looking to pull out the actual data, not just the packet headers, etc...

Let me reiterate one more time...In the middle pane, if I click on the actual data payload of a packet, r click it, select copy bytes (printable text only), it will give me a "neat" version of the data that looks like this. The below example is from a TDS (Tabular data stream, or SQL packet)


ch2hSELECT * FROM TDM_CLASS_DEFAULTS WHERE CLASS_ID=@P1 c2@P1 smallint&

I need to be able to do this from the entire TCP flow/conversation/stream, not just a single packet. If I r click and select follow TCP stream, it will show the stream, and I can select ASCII, but I get all of the "odd" characters in between (really all printable ASCII) when I do this.


I was hoping there would be an easy way to do this. Abhik, I'll looked at the tools, but none of them looked terribly helpful. I may just have to write a custome script that can rip out only raw text or something...

Anyways, thanks again for the reply! Any other suggestions of course welcome!

TC

Hi TC

Does this help you?
Follow TCP Stream

File -> Export...
Select:
Packet Range -> Displayed
Packet Format -> Packet Summery Line and Packet Bytes

Thanks
Joan
