Start making commands for tshark

0

My PC is running windows 7 and I opened the tshark.exe from the wireshark installation file in my computer folder. The program kept recurring messages. I am a beginner in using tshark and i would like to start making commands. How do i start making commands on tshark?

MisterYuku, do me a favor and STOP creating new questions that are in the same topic as one you have already started. And do not answer your own questions with answers if it is in fact a comment (I just converted your answer to a comment).

People here will help you, but on their own time. Pushing out new question will not speed up things - more likely it will annoy the others who then will not answer at all. Patience, young padawan.

You should open a command prompt first: Press the Window Key and R, and enter "cmd" (enter).

Then change to the Wireshark directory by entering cd \\program files\\wireshark. There, you can now enter "tshark" and work with the additional parameters that usually need to be put behind the command, for example "tshark -r capture.pcap". Entering "tshark -h" will print the command help.
