That depends on the text format.

*Some* text formats that contain ASCII text giving hex values for the
bytes in a packet can be converted to libpcap format (the native
Ethereal capture file format) with the "text2pcap" utility that comes
with Ethereal.  See the "text2pcap" documentation.

For other capture file formats, you would have to write your own code to
convert them.
