Ok this is a pretty complicated topic since it will largely depend on how you are storing the data in memory and what kind of file format you are after. Generally you can just dump the contents of memory into a file and read it back out again but depending on how you intend to store it this may or may not work.

I'd recommend finding a tutorial on file i/o to start with and then look up how you dump the contents of memory into a file (depending whether you want plaintext or binary files).

If you have more specific questions feel free to ask but this is a really big topic its hard to know what to advise.
