I tried, and got tshark error. I doubt tshark -R "`cat ...`" option.
Does this work properly ?

   % /usr/sbin/tshark -r snoop_res_IATSID02 -w snoop_fil_IATSID02
      -R "`cat filter`"
   tshark: Read filters were specified both with "-R" and with additional
   command-line arguments

   % cat filter
   (tcp.port != 1035 && \
    tcp.port != 1036 && \
    tcp.port != 1039 && \
    tcp.port != 1040 && \
    tcp.port != 1043 && \
    tcp.port != 1044 && \
    tcp.port != 1047 && \
     :
    tcp.port != 60509)

    % wc filter
    394 1968 8668 filter
