Mergecap supports merging many files at the same time, so you shouldn't need to run it for each file that you need to merge. There is, however, potentially a large amount of typing that you'd need to do. =)

You should be able to write a simple program to simply take a series of files and merge them into a single file. I eventually wrote a simple GUI that I use to handle this for me, but I also wrote a script at one point that would simply take a wildcard as a command-line parameter and attempt to merge all matching files into a single output file.

Hi:

I've captured many files (more than 200) with Ethereal for Windows and now I would like to merge them...I already reviewed the mergecap.exe documentation
but still a much time-consuming activity.

Do you know any other way for merging many files?
I am thinking in a little C/C++ program...any suggestions about special
functions?

Many thanks for your help,
César Cárdenas
