Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] How to extract a string

Hi,

 

How to extract a string from packet (of Hex values)?

I know the string length.

 

 

I tried doing the following. But I am still not able to find it.

 

guint16 loc_name_length =0;

 

/*Location Name Length*/

proto_tree_add_item(oqtp_tree, hf_loc_name_length, tvb, packet_field_offset, 1, FALSE);

loc_name_length = tvb_get_ntohs(tvb, packet_field_offset);

packet_field_offset += 1;

 

/*Location Name*/

proto_tree_add_item(oqtp_tree, hf_loc_name, tvb, packet_field_offset,loc_name_length ,FALSE);

packet_field_offset = packet_field_offset + loc_name_length + 1;

 

Any help on this would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Darshan
