how to filter packets based on some string in tcpdump

Hi All,

I want to filter the packets based on some string using tcpdump. For example I want to capture all the packets which contains '1234567890'.

Thanks,
Kamlesh

I can't use ngrep as it is not installed on my box. Can I achieve the same with tcpdump command?

thanks,
Kamlesh
