[Tutor] Saving Entry fields in Tkinter

[Ewald Ertl]

Hi!

Perhaps this could help you: 

fileContent=open( "my/file/to/read", "r").readlines()

for line in fileContent:
	print line.strip()   # remove leading and trailing whitspace's incl. \n


In the loop you could perhaps populate the entry-widgets.
