i tried like this:

local my_dissector_table = DissectorTable.get("rtp.pt") local xxx = dissectortable:get_dissector("PATTREN") my_dissector_table:add(xxx, p_myproto)

It is showing error as:

Lua: Error during loading: C:\Program Files\Wireshark1\myproto.lua:30: bad argument #1 to 'get_dissector' (number expected, got string)
