I would like to do a selective export of a number of tables from a large

I know about: psql dbname -tc "select * from tableX where whatever" >

You might try
psql dbname -Atc "select * from tableX where whatever" > tableX.dat

to produce un-aligned output, if this is your problem.

It feels like I am re-inventing the wheel.  Does anybody know a better way
or have a good sed script.
