I'm not sure if this works in the HD version of the Bitcoin Core wallet ( I haven't tried it yet), but I assume it does. It definitely should work if you haven't switched to HD yet.
Entering the following in the console:
Entering the following in the console:
Code:
dumpprivkey 1ABitcoinAddressGoesHere
will give you the private key for the bitcoin address if your wallet has the private keyJust FYI, it will work if you are using an HD wallet... also, the "dumpwallet" command will give you everything in one go... it will dump the "extended private masterkey" and all the keys/addresses and derivation paths into a text file:

EDIT: Obviously, you will need to take necessary safety precautions... not only with the text file, but in generating it... "dumpprivkey" displays the key in the console... so it exists in memory and on screen, it will only be on disk if it gets paged out of memory... "dumpwallet" dumps it onto a file on your disk in plaintext.
This should not be done without due consideration of the implications this has on your private key security!
