RE: [Ethereal-users] 6 gig ethereal file

Try using the "editcap" program that comes with Ethereal (or Wireshark).
You will have much better success there.

For some reason one of our tech's was capture at a site for a month and
did not break the files up. I can't get ethereal to open the file as the
thing is just to big. All I need is the last day of the capture, I have
tried tethereal, but it does not seem to be filtering out what I want.
Here is what I tried. 

tethereal -r c:\etherXXXXSXB8AT -w c:\outfile -R frame.time >= "July 27,
2006"

So since the last day of the capture was the 27th I though this would
work. When I look at the outfile size it's the same size as the
original. Any thoughts? 

This is on a winxp.
