If possible, can a feature be added to wireahrk tool to
1. resize the trace file to lesser size?
2. split a large file into multiple smaller files?

Resizing can be based on:
- two identifiers/fields as limiters (size and hence the content of the file is
limited to these entries)
- start idetifier/field and size (the end point would be the last record which
can fit in the given size)

Splitting can be based on:
- number of files user enters as option (should be able to open any of the
split files independently with wireshark).


Uses:
1. sharing/sending large traces would be difficult as the size grows. 
2. makes it easy to have only required content in a separate smaller file.

Thanks.

=============
i had searched to find if this feature is requested for earlier with strings
"resize a trace file" / "splitting a file". But didnt find any. Hence entering
the feature request into bugzilla.
