Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] how can i export many capture files to .txt?
Tethereal is a command-line utility that's installed by default when
you run the Ethereal for windows package installer. Unless you
specifically unclicked the check-box for "tethereal", then it's in your
Ethereal program directory, which is most likely "C:\Program
Files\Ethereal"
And *since* Tethereal is a command-line app, you'd probably be best
using the command-line to run it. You can find documentation on using
Tethereal in that same directory (there's an HTML file), on the
website, and in the User's Guide. I'd suggest starting there and then
asking again if you have specific questions.
It's also usually extremely useful to me to place the Ethereal program
directory in my system path. Command-line utilities like Tethereal,
Editcap, Capinfos, and Mergecap are very handy, and I like being able
to just run them from whatever directory I happen to be in.

By .txt, do you mean a text file containing the kind of output that
tethereal generates?
Just run tethereal with whatever display options it is that you want,
and redirect the output to a file:
tethereal -r infile > textfile.text
...will generate a text file ("textfile.text") containing summaries of
each packet in "infile"
Now repeat this 300 times.
Again, you could write a simple script that would automate this for
you. If you really want one large text file containing the traffic in
ALL 300 files (I'm guessing perhaps that's why you asked the seperate
300-file merge question in the other thread), you could also merge all
the files and then generate the text file with one command.
If you're not familiar with tethereal or the output it generates, check
out the manual for tethereal and play around with its options.
