The Capture Window : Splitting saved packet files

If you have a large LiveAction formatted packet file, you can easily split it into smaller manageable packet files. You can specify file sizes by byte size or packet count.

To split a large packet file:

1. On the Tools menu, click Split Packet File. The Split Packet File dialog appears.

2. Select the source file, destination folder, file size, and file size unit (Megabytes, Kilobytes, or Packets) and click Split.

The file sizes of the smaller files are approximately equal to the file size you specify, with possibly the exception of the last file created. This is necessary in instances where the original file cannot be divided equally by the file size specified.
