I'm trying to use tethereal to filter a tcpdump file based on time and IP address. The filter I am trying (based off Guy Harris' answer to someone else's question) is:

frame.time >= "Aug 1, 2001 00:52:34" && frame.time <= "Aug 1, 2001 00:55:34" &&
ip.src = 192.168.0.1

This display filter works fine in ethereal, but when I use it on the command line in tethereal, it does not work. I have even simplified it down to just one check, but cannot even get that to work. I tried using:

tethereal -r input.tcpdump -w output.tcpdump -R frame.time eq "Apr 5, 1999 08:10:01"

and I get the error message

tethereal: The string "5" was unexpected in this context.

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?  Thanks.
