Macro Filters Can't Handle Escaped Characters
Summary
Escaped characters cannot be used in a macro filter or else the filter will be rejected when the macro is invoked.
Steps to reproduce
Create a macro filter that escapes at least one character (ex: frame contains "some \"quotes\"" && ip.dst == $1) and invoke the macro in the filter bar.
What is the current bug behavior?
Wireshark to reject the filter when it is called, saying "The string _____ was unexpected in this context" if there were more parts of the filter after the escaped character. If the escaped character was part of the last condition, Wireshark displays a "syntax error". No error is shown when adding the filter as a macro and the filter with escapes can be used without a variable in the filter bar without issue.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The macro filter should be able to interpret character escapes in the same way that the filter bar can.
