Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Output files in text mode

[Pedro Pérez Pérez <ergrangran@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

i want to develop an application using Ethereal output files in text mode. I get the output files exporting the capture files as plain text with the option "all-collapsed" using Ethereal in graphical mode.

 

My problem is that i need this text files using tethereal or ethereal in command mode. I mean, i need to know what option i can put in the command line to execute ethereal getting in the output the same text file that i get using graphical interface exporting the output file as plain text with "all-collapsed" option.

 

The meaning of this question is that i want to develop an application that sniff the network traffic with ethereal and reads this frames using output text files because is easier than using dmp files.

 

I have been looking the options of ethereal and tethereal and i haven't found this option and i'm sure that there is some way to do this.

 

Well, i hope somebody can help me because it's very important that i get this output file.

 

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Kike
