Have you taken a look at the "-T fields" output format of tshark?

>From "tshark -h":

-T pdml|ps|psml|text|fields
			 format of text output (def: text)
-e <field>               field to print if -Tfields selected (e.g. tcp.port);
			 this option can be repeated to print multiple fields
-E<fieldsoption>=<value> set options for output when -Tfields selected:
  header=y|n             switch headers on and off
  separator=/t|/s|<char> select tab, space, printable character as separator
  quote=d|s|n            select double, single, no quotes for values
