Hello 
,
 
While writing a 
dissector for my protocol I'm stuck up at a point .
The description 
of my problem is provided below :
    Suppose my packet is like 
:  
                    
__________________________________________________________
                   |     7     
|       6     |       5     
|      4        
|    
3    |    2        
|    
1     |   0   |     Octet
                    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   
|     X     |      
             Y                        
|                
Z                          
|        1
                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   |               
Number of 
Digits                                                               
|        2
                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   
|              
digit 
2                                  
|            digit 
1                        
|        3
                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------         
                   |             
..................................                                                       
|     ...........
                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   
|              
digit 
2n                                 
|          digit 
2n-1                    
|        n+2
                    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
I'm able to display 
the "digit" information using " proto_tree_add_string " function , but I'm not 
getting how to dissect octet 1 i.e X , Y and Z.
Reason for my 
confusion is that  the messages to be displayed depends upon the 
values of X , Y and Z . 
Say the messages are 
as :    if X = 0 ; received 0 for X
                                              
X = 1 ; received 1 for X
                                           
if Y = 0 ; received y value as 0
                                              
Y = 1 ; received y value as 1
                                              
............... and so on .
If I use  { 
&hf_protox_octet1 , {    "octet1 indicator",   
"protox.octet1",       
FT_UINT8,       
BASE_DEC,       VALS(X),   
0x0,    "",     HFILL }} and 
    
static const value_string X_values[] = {
     { 0, 
"received 0 for X" },
     { 1, "received 1 for X" 
},};
it gives the value 
of entire octet1 and NOT the value of X or Y or Z.
 
Please suggest how I 
may get the desired dissection .
Could you also 
explain in detail about the RANGE_STRING and the 
statement
length = 
tvb_length(tvb).
 
Regards 
,
Vikash
