This will only work when the info column is in column #6 (or 5 if you 
count them starting with 0 like the array above does)...

Do you need to pass data to a sub-dissector?  If so, try using 
pinfo->private_data, which is defined in epan/packet_info.h .  If it is 
within the same dissector, check out the information on per packet and 
per conversation data storage in doc/README.developer .
