The command is

	tethereal -r {capture file name} >{text file name}

where "{capture file name}" is the name of the capture file you're
reading, and "{text file name}" is the name of the file to which you
want the text output to be written.

That will write the summary output (one line per packet).  If you want
the detailed output, then, as noted by another poster, use the "-V"
flag:

	tethereal -V -r {capture file name} >{text file name}
