inpcap="test.pcap"
max=$(tshark -r $inpcap -n -T fields -e frame.number|tail -1)
# This is the number of packets in each split pcap
c=1

[[ ! -d out ]] && mkdir out
for i in $(seq 1 $max $c)
do

#Do other stuff, if required
read -p "Send the next packet? "
done
A very simple 3-4 line script that has saved my day so may times.
