Read filters haven't worked like this in quite a while (since 0.99.7).
The bug:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2234
... is listed in the "known problems" of each release since then.
It is possible to build a pipeline which will do the same thing, for
example:
% dumpcap -w - | tshark -R icmp -r - -w /tmp/foo.pcapng

Hello,
At the moment I'm using v1.4.2, I know it's not the latest, but had to
have it after a recent switch upgrade.
Can't remember at the moment the older version I was using, but simply
typing:
# tethereal/tshark -i ethX -w trace.pcap -R 'sip.To contains 'xxxxxxx''
would work :)
Thanks

Hi,
Can you specify what a recent Wireshark update means? What version
did you have
before and what version do you have now?
Thanks,
