Preference Table updating from a file

0

hello ! When i open some log , i want that certain information (such as IP and port number) get automatically populated into the the preference tables (the table has already been created). I am able to write the same information in a file using sprintf (in the required format) but dont know how to populate the preference table from the file. Can someone help me on this?

By "some log", do you mean a packet capture (e.g., file.pcap)? What is a "preference table"?

yea ... a .pcap log file !!! a preference table is a set of user prefernces stored in a tabular form !!

By "a set of user prefernces stored in a tabular form" do you specifically mean a UAT? (I assume by "preferences" you mean the settings editable with Edit -> Preferences.)

yes , i am talking about UAT .. edit -> preferences !!! how can i update a prefernce table from a file in the ".wireshark" folder containing the data(in the correct format) to be filled into the table ?
