A common problem for scientific programmers:

1) Analyze/parse a bunch of data
2) Plot said analysis

When I need to do this, I typically take the output from 1) and put into a SAVE file. That way, I can work on the plotting, separate from the analysis.

You could dump the analysis is some other intermediary file (ASCII, binary, etc) but I find the SAVE/RESTORE capabilities to *very* useful and simple.
