Is there a tool, script, or simple way to export capture file detail data to a CSV? It would be very nice to take the detailed information listed in the packet window and dump it into a AV pair CSV, for easy sorting, tabulating, looking for patterns, etc....
If not, is there a a single source for protocol number, byte count, etc., that can be used with PERL or the like to chew through capture files to produce a text file?

You can export the capture as a plaintext file, then use perl to take the values of certain fields and rewrite them in the order and format you desire. If you do a search you might perhaps already find such a script, this is however just speculation.

hope that helps
