I'm a new user and I try to generate a text file from data I have already captured. How can I do that?

Either:

1) use Tethereal (with the "-V" option if you want the text file to show the detailed dissection of the packets, or without the "-V" option if you want it to show the one-line summary for the packet), with the "-r" flag to make it read from your capture, and redirect its standard output to your file;

2) use Ethereal's "Print" menu item under "File", and use the "print to a file" option.
