Yaah, I dug into docs and found that regex could be used in display filters.

Unfortunately, windows installer for Wireshark does not have PCRE support. Am I right?

Do I understand correctly, that I need re-compile wireshark from the source under windows to have regex support?

If yes, than, well, sorry, I can't do it...

--i.n.

If you have PCRE support compiled in, you can use something like

    udp matches "one.*one"

That translates to "the string 'one' followed by zero or more characters
followed by the string 'one'."  The "matches" operator supports
Perl-compatible regular expressions, which are described at
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html .

You can check for PCRE support via "Help->About Wireshark" or by using
the "-v" command-line flag.  You can also type in the filter above and
see if the display filter entry turns green.
