Hi,

I use tethereal (command line version included with ethereal) to filter
large traces:

Tethereal -r <infile> -R <filter> -w <savefile>

Where <infile> is the original capture file.

You will need to check the syntax on that filter though - remove the spaces
around the " == " and enclose the whole thing in double quotes for starters

Check out the documentation for full details - you can do lots of really
useful things with tethereal

Regards
Jon

Hi,
Does any one know is it possible to do any level of scripting in ethereal?
i've got a few 100mb+ captures, which takes a while to filter through to
find what i'm looking for.

to do something like:
ip.addr == (select radius.Framed_IP_Address from radius where
radius.Calling_Station_Id == "1234567890")

The select/from/where syntax is just used as an example.

I was hoping that there is some option within the ethereal console (or
soemthing similar) that would allow this.

Regards,
David
