WinDump file output is garbled...
When I run windump and output to the dos window everything
works fine, but when I output to a file, most of the
information is garbled. For instance, the URLs contain
an empty square character where there should be a period.
Looks like this: www(square)somedomain(squa
empty square character appears quite frequently in the file output...I tried using different file formats..but no luck. I guess I can read the urls, but pretty much all
the other info is destroyed in the output.
Does anyone know how to fix this??

Using NoteTab light the file doesnt even open at all, except for a few garbled characters at the beginning. Maybe I should have mentioned at the beginning that the editors I tried using were notepad, wordpad, ms word 2000, and of course NoteTab light...Could I be doing something
myself to corrupt the file...I use the following command
to start windump: "windump.exe -w c:\myfile.txt"...After
the program runs for a few minutes I do "Control + Break"
to terminate it, and then I open the file to see the output....you know the rest.

This may have been designed for a UNIX machine, and noone bothered to change the formatting options of the output.
Try a Windows version of vi or similar.

Gavin!!! Thank you so much!!
Now I can output the data to file just as it appears in the console window...I understand perfectly now..thank you.
I also like the idea of leaving the file as binary so I can use windump to extract just the data I want. I'll save that one for another time though.

Either find one that can handle or ignore Tabs, and other garbage characters - or use
find- replace to remove them.
I hope this helps !
