I don't have any problem with a specialized export function for matlab. 
It's the way which *data values* can be selected to be exported.

It's not about which packets, it's about which data.

To qoute one of your earlier mails: "the first column contains the 
relative timestamp, the second one contains the packet length".

What if I want to see the payload of a specific protcol, a DCE/RPC 
response time or something completely different in the second column?

I hope you get what I mean...

It's always a good idea to put only one topic into a single patch. This 
makes it usually easier to apply that one.

It might be possible to include it before the next release, which is 
planned for this week.
