Hi Ian,
It has been my intention for a while as what I see in the questions and
answers it seems like Ethereal can do a lot.
Best regards

Perhaps try downloading and installing Ethereal - spending some time
with it might help you understand what your users are doing (and could
be doing differently)?

Hi Ian,
Thank you for your mail. My problem is that I am not collecting any data,
but are depending on the users of e.g. Ethereal to provide record files
for me. It also means that I am not using Ethereal directly and are
therefor not familiar with it.
You are right the extension does not matter to me - it is the format, but
in different tools the format automatically selects an extension. But if I
read your answer correctly then a .cap file can be opened and saved again
in a different format selected from the list?
And (sorry for being slow in understanding it) the .cap file can be opened
and saved as a file type without extension (could you give examples of
types that saves without extension)
Thank you
Best regards
Niels Steenberg

Hi all,
I am making some SW that can use e.g. Ethereal files and make additional
statistics. It has all worked well in the past but now a user can only
save the files in .cap format and I do not know this file format. Before
it was saved without an extension and in a different format. Can anybody
tell me how the file can be saved in the format without the .cap
extension.
Thanks
Best regards

What do you mean by "a user can only save the files in .cap format"? This
is with Ethereal? What are you trying to do where you believe you have
this restriction?
As far as I know there's no place in Ethereal that associates the ".cap"
extension with any particular format of file (and I'm assuming that the
format is what's important to you, and that the extension is totally
meaningless). The file saving dialog allows you to select the file type
you want to save as from a drop-down list, and by default saves as the
file format that was opened (if possible/applicable).
Ian
