Hi Daniel,

You can use in T|Wireshark a display filter: tcp.segments.
This gives you an overview of which packets contain Reassembled TCP Segments.
Packet Details (middle pane) shows you the frame numbers and payload.

Choose a frame number you want to work on.
Next you can use display filter: tcp.reassembled_in==[frame number]. 
Edit > Mark All Packets
Note: don' forget to mark the frame with the reassembled PDU as well, 
because this packet is not included in the selection.
Save the marked packets.

Somehow display filter tcp.reassembled_in doesn't work in Tshark and I cann't
figure out why ;-(

Next you can use Tshark|awk to show you the frame numbers, frame length and
total.
$ tshark -r yourfile.cap -T fields -e frame.number -e frame.len | awk
 'sum = sum + $2;END { print "Total: " sum }'
Output:
1       1514
2       1514
3       1514
  snip
35      1514
36      1514
37      1021
Total: 55525

Export Selected Packet Bytes....

Display filter tcp.segments
Select the packet which contents you want to save.

Look in Packet Details (middle pane) "Line-based text data: text/html.
Note: the description depends on the kind of data
p.e. 	Compuserve GIF, Version: GIF 89a
			Media Type 

Select the line; right-click, choose Export Selected Packet Bytes...
and save as... (depending on kind of data)

Hope this helps somehow ;-)
