Title: Help!!
Hi,
I am trying to develop a Automated test-suite which would require controlling Ethereal. I was just wondering if I can get custom-made executable that would allow me to control Ethereal (start, stop and save ethereal capture in text format from an external application) or if someone could suggest how to add this functionality into Ethereal.
The sequence of steps during a typical test is as follows. These steps are to be executed using an external application (the automation test tool):-
1) Launch ethereal and start (this can be done from the command-line and there is no problem with this step)
2) Run a test-script
3) Stop capture and save the capture in text-format (there is a problem here; there is no way I can control ethereal from an external application and there is no command-line option to stop and save capture in text-format)
I am using Windows 2K. What all do I require to take the ethereal source code and compile it on my PC?
I would appreciate some help on this.
Thanks,
Susheel
