A few days ago I showed a quick way to extract one table form a mysqldump output. Here is a more complete version which supports extracting either a full schema or a table from the specified schema. If full schema is being extracted, the script also looks for any associated views and routines.
Usage is simple:
garfield ~ # ./extract.sh -f dump.sql -d redmine > redmine.sql
garfield ~ # ./extract.sh -f dump.sql -d redmine -t workflows > redmine-workflows.sql
You can grab the script from Downloads page.
extract.sh
