Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] writing some text to Tshark output file

Hi Joan,
thank you for your response, I have some more questions on your command,
  1. Is "-r *.cap" necessary or I can capture or display online traffic?
  2. If for example I need to log SIP traffic, can I use the options exist in this column.c file or I must add some things more? I mean isn't there any need to use -T or -e options to log for example specific sip packet's field which I am interested in?
  3. and finally it does not seed that I can write the fields' names beside values? I mean you log some parameters and set their place in your output file, but can I write my desired field name for each of parameters logged?
Regards,
Maryam

Hi Maryam,

You can use custom colomns:
i.e.
$ tshark -o column.format:""No.", "%m",
"Time", "%t", "Source", "%s",
"Destination",
"%d", "Protocol", "%p", "Info",
"%i"" -r test1.cap > test1.txt

Output:
1 0.000000 192.168.1.4 -> 213.51.144.37 DNS Standard query A
www.google.co.uk
2 0.007430 213.51.144.37 -> 192.168.1.4 DNS Standard query response
