I am at loss at how to proceed. I start one way and then it just

the brain to freeze, I would think.
Line 1 of EE, ED seems pretty easy, but how to do a variable

It sounds like you want to do transposition. In transposition, you have
a multi-dimensioned array like this:
[ 1, 2, 3 ],
[ 4, 5, 6 ],
[ 7, 8, 9 ],
and you change it to look like this:
[ 1, 4, 7 ],
[ 2, 5, 8 ],
[ 3, 6, 9 ],
The PDL (Perl Data Language) has a method to do this very thing, but it
only works for numbers :-(
However, a function to do transposition on strings isn't too hard to write.
