Title: Nachricht
Hello tethereal expert,
 
I am using tethereal to generate text reports on GTP traffic. I filter the data and write the information into one file. Starting with version 0.10.10 I run into a problem with the "-z" option in tethereal. I write each packet into one line and add would like the information for the MSISDN, APN and IMSI to be display as well. Therefore I've being using the syntax:
 
tethereal -i eth2 -n -l -R "(gtp.message == 0x10 or gtp.message == 0x11) or (gtp.apn or gtp.msisdn or gtp.imsi)" -t ad
-z proto,colinfo,ip,gtp.imsi -z proto,colinfo,ip,gtp.apn -z proto,colinfo,ip,gtp.msisdn
 
Up to version 0.10.9 I had not had any problems. The following problem is happing on my machines now. I use Fedora 1,2,3 on differnet hardware and have same problem.
 
Only ONE colinfo gets displayed. No matter how many values I describe in the command only the last gets dispaly. Before the new version this was no issue at all.
 
I even took a recored file (0.10.10) and copied it to a 0.10.9 and there the problem does not occure.
 
The output I used to get was:
 
DATE   TIME   SRC_IP   DES_IP   GTP   GTP_TYPE   GTP_IMSI   GTP_MSISDN   GTP_APN
 
Now I am getting only:
 
DATE   TIME   SRC_IP   DES_IP   GTP   GTP_TYPE  plus the last colinfo I specifiy.

Could anybody please look into the issue. I think the iusse is not just with GTP but with any other protocol, too.
 

 
Best regards,
