1. If I have a M-by-N table with entries like this (you may recognise
the example ;)...
...
{. curlylfdot
{: curlylfco
{:: curlylfcoco
} curlyrt
...
how do I neatly slice off the first 3 columns (say) into a boxed list
of tally M to serve as a lookup index?
Ditto any given field, i.e. set of columns?
I'm often doing it, but a different way each time, and the methods I
use are cumbersome.
2. Is there already a slice'n'dice cookbook on the wiki, to give quick
answers to questions like this?
