Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Timestamp in text2pcap

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

It expects the whole timestamp, not just the time.

try -t '%F %T.'  and add the date to your file

2006-01-25 10:44:22.490 0000   A7 97 00

%T = %H:%M:%S
%F = %Y-%m-%d
