Here is an example of a simple program that will take in 3 fields and save them to a file called test_text in your main directory.

That same file can be used to load to each field through the use of some if statements when the load button is pressed.

This should be a good example to assist you with your problem.

import tkinter as tk

class App(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)

        self.master = parent
        self.save_btn = tk.Button(self.master, text = "Save fields", command= self.ldsave)
        self.save_btn.grid(row=0, column=0)
        load_btn = tk.Button(self.master, text = "Load fields", command= self.ldload)
        load_btn.grid(row=0, column=1)

        label1 = tk.Label(self.master, text = "First Name: ")
        label1.grid(row=1, column=0)
        self.entry1 = tk.Entry(self.master)
        self.entry1.grid(row=1, column=1)

        label2 = tk.Label(self.master, text = "Last Name: ")
        label2.grid(row=2, column=0)
        self.entry2 = tk.Entry(self.master)
        self.entry2.grid(row=2, column=1)

        label3 = tk.Label(self.master, text = "Age: ")
        label3.grid(row=3, column=0)
        self.entry3 = tk.Entry(self.master)
        self.entry3.grid(row=3, column=1)



    def ldsave(self):
        list_of_entries = [self.entry1.get(), self.entry2.get(), self.entry3.get()]
        with open("./test_text", 'w') as f:
            for item in list_of_entries:
                f.write("{}\n".format(item))

    def ldload(self):
        try:
            with open("./test_text", 'r') as f:
                content = f.readlines()
                content = [x.strip() for x in content]
                for i in range(3):
                    if i == 0:
                        self.entry1.delete(0,tk.END)
                        self.entry1.insert(0,content[i])
                    if i == 1:
                        self.entry2.delete(0,tk.END)
                        self.entry2.insert(0,content[i])
                    if i == 2:
                        self.entry3.delete(0,tk.END)
                        self.entry3.insert(0,content[i])
        except:
            print("File test_text does not exist")



if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk() 
    my_app = App(root)
    tk.mainloop()
