        I have servral problem to ask you.
       1. How can i turn a capture file to Text file directly?

In Ethereal, you use the menu item

	File -> Export -> as "Plain Text" file

In Tethereal, you do

	tethereal -r {capture file} > {text file}

which will just show the information in the packet list, or

	tethereal -V -r {capture file} > {text file}

which will show the detailed dissection for each packet.

       2. How can i save some part of the capture results to Txt file
automatically when i capture the signals ?

There's no mechanism for doing that.
