Is it possible to stream out captured data in near real-time?

I would like to be able to use the "follow tcp stream" feature, but instead of saving it to a file, I would like to continuously output the conversation and pipe it into another program. Is this possible? If so, how would I do it?

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
