Hi all,

I'm developing a sem5 test software which will co-ordinate with a freeware software. The Freeware software is Wireshark Network protocol Analyzer Version 1.2.7 (SVN Rev 32341).The OS used here is Windows xp. 

I will develop test software separately using some other language. We will also launch Wireshark in the same PC Where test software is runing. The wireshark captures network related packets from our lab test setup, and saves in a file in some destined local disk. Our test software acesses the saved file and uses it to display network related Information to us.

In which format the Wireshark should save so that the test software can access the captured network statistics. I feel test software can easily access captured statistics in .txt format or excel format. 

I do not know how to access captured network statistics in .pcap format or any other format. 

I prefer test software should access network statistics easily.

regards,
Sachin
