Hi All,
Thanks Joan and Gerald.
Both of your approaches worked.
But my New query is
mergecap -w - file1.cap file2.cap |wiresahrk -k -i -
shall give me the output unsaved, i need to explicitly save it .
But what i need is save it to the XXX location as specified and into multiple files of say 200KB.
I don't know the no.of files i am merging. There may be chance of "out of memory" when i load the merged output file. So it would be better if I could save them into smaller files.
please help me.
regards,
Atdev.

No, this one does:
$ mergecap -w mergepacket1_and_2.pcap packet1.pcap packet2.pcap | wireshark
-r
mergepacket1_and_2.pcap
