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
