Hello,

 

Does anyone know how to deal with fields that are floating. For instance, "ANI" is an optional field name(it may or may not be in the packet) AND it's size can be 0-40 bytes. I need to be able to determine the data type and its length so I can dissect that field. Or I could just output as one long string. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Martin
