If you just want plain ascii text, then use "tethereal -x > somefile" to get the captured packets in HEX dump format. If you want
the full decoded text output use "tethereal -V > somefile".
There is also an OpenSource JAVA library for decoding capture files. Its a java library for reading in various capture file formats
where you can do the decoding yourself or use the default decoder to do the decoding as well. Depending at what level of coding you
want to work on.
