thanks!
but that is what I did.
but the problem is, I see the command output flushed away in front of my 
eyes, and disappears.
I guess there must be a way to retain the the content...so looks that 
the '#' which puts a "-p" to pause (page) the shell outputs?

I'll check the rifle you mentioned for the open_with feature...I think 
that's another more useful way to look at the file in productions, 
instead of just a "quick" look, like the '#' or preview solution.

b.t.w, currently I have worked around it (without doing any magic in 
ranger rifle), with vim ,which took some autocmd to render the file with 
tcpdump cmds..
but the issue of that is, there is no easy way to change the tcpdump 
options in the fly --- I have to change the autocmd in my vimrc , reload 
vim and read the file again...
