I have captured some traffic with Wireshark and saved the result as a file. The file has 3 sections now:

  1. request headers
  2. response headers
  3. response body

The response body is to become an flv file, but now everything is saved as a single file. So I need a way to delete the first two sections from the file, but the problem is that the file is very big (over a thousand mega bytes). I have tried to open it with gedit, but no matter how long I wait, gedit hangs and remains unresponsive until I kill it.

What tool can I use to edit this big file easily?
