[Ethereal-users] search for string in data?

[Mathias Koerber <mathias@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ethereal experts,

how can I (display) filter on packets which contain an arbitrary
string anywhere inside the packet?

> From the list of fields I can guess that I need to use the ´data´
field, but I cannot fgure out how to express the rest. The substring
functions seem to require me specifying known locations, but
as yet I have no idea where in the packet mystring will turn up.

IOW, I'm looking for something like
	$date =~ /mystring/;

Any hints are appreciated.
