This is how to save it to a file:

$ gpg --export --armor key-id > my-key.pub

--armor stands for the format with printable characters.

No need to search for a key ID. Just type the e-mail associated with your key and export your public key like this:

$ gpg --export -a something@example.net > my_key.asc
