Counting packets in Wireshark

Tags:

wireshark

Is it possible to re-do numbering in Wireshark. For example i have filtered packets to one side:

enter image description here

So the numbers are (they are not in order because of filtering): 416,419,420,423,424,426,427.

But i would like to number them like this, line by line: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

The reason is that it would be easier to count all the packets. I know tshark has statistical operation COUNT, but for quick counting this would be a lot better.

You can export the displayed packets into a new file via File -> Export Specified Packets... -> All packets: Displayed. The new capture file will contain sequentially numbered packets starting from 1.
