when I use tshark -r chinese-characters.cap such as "tshark -r 中文.cap" It says that the file name is invalid. How could I resolve this problem?

thanks

The obvious workaround is to either rename the file before opening it with tshark (or create a link or shortcut to the original file).

Which version of tshark are you running? I believe there has been some work done recently on handling non-ascii filenames. Could you try version 1.5.1?

Thanks. version 1.5.1 supports non-ascii filenames.
