I'm not sure of your intentions but just as a suggestion, download PGADMIN III. You can select a SCHEMA and do a BACKUP with many options for your custom editing. (I'm new and that's the fastest way if you have hundreds of functions & procedures like me) you can tweek the generated backup file and reinsert what you need...
