Sorry so much for mistakes. 

It was an example code and I commited some mistakes typing it. But meaning the 
original code is right (I have checked several times) I am not sure about how 
to solve the problem of extracting columns and rows using labels from a squared 
matrix. I have enclosed a text file with the idea in order to understand it 
better.

Thanks again, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

AJ
