Now I use the the ethereal to capture the packets by the command "Tethereal -a

the txt file,So I wonder ethereal can generate the text file directly?

Ethereal, or Tethereal?

You can do

	tethereal -a duration >cfile.txt

and get the summary lines for the capture written to "cfile.txt" as the capture is done.
