How to store and retrieve strings between load and restarts?

I made a neat little mod to the Dragonspear UI but the text I enter into the filter does not stay between loading a saved game, restarting the game, and even sleeping!

Is there a way to do this?

    You would probably have to save/retrieve the string to baldur.lua in the same way as the debug console does for its command entries. Its location around the (name 'cheatMenu') section of UI.menu.

    Would you be able to provide an example? I'm not familiar with what functions are available in the global scope.
