type: sv_saveentfile in the console.
There is no tutorial needed to read .ent files out of maps and save them.

If you want to EDIT .ent files, that is something different.
It depends on what you want to do with them.
There are several tutorials available here in this forum.
And even more tutorials in other forums.
So more details are needed from you.

R00k, in this thread further down there is engine code you can put into an engine to copy the entities string from the currently loaded map to the clipboard.

or you can just open the bsp file in notepad, search for 'worldspawn' and copy+pasta all the hunam readable junk into your .ent file, which is pure text. Easy.
Editing it properly is the hard part.
