Hi Michael -

 

 

Looks like you're OK with using a wildcard to identify the 8 characters between "FO" & "B", so following your approach, you would actually want to break up the match string into /4/ chunks, and only replace the whitespace, using regsub instead of regexp to perform the inline substitution. This code would do the trick:

 


   set payload [TCP::payload]
   set new_digits ""
   regsub -all "(FO)(.*)(   )(B)" $payload "\\1\\2$new_digits\\4" payload
   TCP::payload replace 0 [TCP::payload length] $payload
