Have a look at tshark, a command-line utility that comes with Wireshark.  
The -V command line argument is probably what you are looking for.  It 
shows everything in the (default) middle pane that you see in Wireshark, 
but not what the (default) top pane shows.  Without any command line 
arguments (no -V), it will show what the top pane shows..  There are 
many other options to try with tshark too.

If you're trying to do something else, let us know.
