Simple question on snoop's output format

I have a snoop launched with the following command line:

snoop -d bge2 -x54 -ta host 192.168.104.152

but the format is something quite unreadable:

I am interested only in the ASCII part of the traffic, possibly put on one line; how can I configure snoop to have it this way?

Hi,

Snoop doesn't offer any embedded option to do what you want. The solution is to send the output to a file or pipe
and make a shell script.

Depending on the exact chars your command outputs, you may need to alter the commands above (particularly number and location of spaces!), hence the explainations!

Better still, put the alias command in your ~/.bashrc file, then it is automatically run each time you log in:)

Why are you using -x54 if you want a "readable" format? What are you actually trying to capture and how do you want to read it?

I find the easiest way is to capture in snoop and read in the capture file in Etherreal.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I am not in the test lab today so cannot try it out, will let you know.
