Dear All,

 

Is there a way to store a string in a temporary tvb buffer and then in the dissection logic use this tvb buffer in the in order to read this temporary string using function proto_tree_add_item and assign it to one of the filter fields.

 

The reason for creating a temporary buffer is because this information is not supplied in the default tvb buffer which contains all the packet information. And I want this information so that I can filter the column on the basis of the value fetched from this temporary buffer tvb.

 

Thanks
