Author [Snort-users] reading packet capture file

I have a large packet capture file which contains a
record of malicious activity. Is it possible to read
it into snort offline? Thanks in advance.

Yes this is possible. Just like tcpdump you can supply the -r filename
option.

snort --help provides a lot of quick information including the above.

If it's a tcpdump binary capture file, certainly.. use snort's -r parameter
(see man snort for more detail).
