While I agree that this would make sense, the C++ code looks so different, that I don't
know where to add this code (and it doesn't help that I don't understand C++ beyond simple
C).

In order for this to really behave the same, the acutual parsing funtionality should
probably be in code used by both text2pcap and the GUI and be put into the ui/ folder,
where we keep code common to CLI and QT. Also, it would be nice if the Regular Expression
feature from 8c1b29a597764cd3e4 could be ported back to the CLI as well.

So if anyone feels like refactoring these things into common code, that would make sense
from my point of view, but there is really not much I can achieve while only spending a
sensible amount of time.

Kind regards
    Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
