By .txt, do you mean a text file containing the kind of output that
tethereal generates?

Just run tethereal with whatever display options it is that you want,
and redirect the output to a file:

tethereal -r infile > textfile.text

...will generate a text file ("textfile.text") containing summaries of
each packet in "infile"

Now repeat this 300 times.

Again, you could write a simple script that would automate this for
you. If you really want one large text file containing the traffic in
ALL 300 files (I'm guessing perhaps that's why you asked the seperate
300-file merge question in the other thread), you could also merge all
the files and then generate the text file with one command.

If you're not familiar with tethereal or the output it generates, check
out the manual for tethereal and play around with its options.
