There's no function yet in epan/column_utils.[ch] which enables adding a string to the column if the column is empty, and prefix this string with a separator otherwise. I'm still having problems in naming that function.
Well, if we're willing to make changes to all dissectors and other code that calls the "col_append_*str()" routines, there's a suggestion I made in another message:
(BTW, should the "col_append_*str" routines take a "char *" argument that, if not null, is appended to the string before appending the new text if the string is not empty, so that you can put in a space, or ";", or "; ", or... to separate the new item from any existing items without that item showing up at the beginning of the column? The same might apply to "proto_item_append_text()", and possibly even "proto_item_append_string()".)
I.e., call them "col_append_str()" and "col_append_fstr()", but add a separator string argument.
