regards,

Jump to PostSo what's the problem?
Have you read the relevant documentation to learn about the .cap file format?
Are you able to open and read the file, and retrieve a packet?
Are you able to decode the header of that packet to determine it's purpose?
Jump to PostPerhaps you should begin with some exercises which get you used to using these operators

~Use fread() to read one or more bytes from the file,
Use the bitwise ops to extract the bit(s) which interest you.

Write some code to read a .cap file, extract a frame and show usage of the bitwise operators to extract some information?
Go read your C book or some tutorials to find out how they work, then try to use them in your application. Then (or if) …

Yes I can help, but I'm not going to spend the next hour researching .cap files, saving a trace with ethereal and then writing some code just so you can grab it and say "tada, finished". It's your project, start pulling some weight.
fine.i have a written a small code to open read and write the binary file.now wat i need is to get only a certain peice of data from the whole file.i have used fseek to move my pointer to tht location.but not able to get the exact data.
this is the code tht i have written to get the piece of data from the string.any idea how to covert a binary file into readable form using c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
FILE *fp,*ft;
char ch;
int i;
clrscr();
fp=fopen("test2.cap","rb");
ft=fopen("e1.c","wb");
fseek(fp,64,SEEK_SET);
printf("%ld",ftell(fp));
for(i=64;i<=96;i++)
{
ch=fgetc(fp);
fputc(ch,ft);
}
printf("%ld",ftell(fp));
fclose(fp);
fclose(ft);
}
