Extract only packet payload doesn't work

Hi all,

I use Wireshark Version 2.2.6 and have a capture pcap file with lots of packets whose data I want to analyze. For that, I tried the Export function to export only the packet bytes to a text file but everytime the whole packet including source and destination addresses and other information is saved. Then I tried to export it in a binary file and read and analyze it with Matlab. In this case in fact only the payload bytes are saved but Matlab recognizes totally different data than what it is. Is there any trick or workaround I could use? Any help is highly appreciated. Cheers, Ron

ps: I tried now the csv option but this doesn't work neither. It exports only the header and additional information but no data. In the dialog box the "packet bytes" option i grey and unmarked...
