Hi,

Apologies in advance for the basic nature of my question. I am still very
much a rookie when it comes to R. Having googled it, checked Nabble and
trial/error to the best of my ability, I have yet to find an easy solution.

I am currently working with a list of 5x5 matrices, and want to extract a
list consisting of the first number of each matrix.

In other words I want to go from:

[[1]]
              [,1]          [,2]          [,3]          [,4]          [,5]
[1,]             a             X             X             X             X
[2,]             X             X             X             X             X
[3,]             X             X             X             X             X
[4,]             X             X             X             X             X
[5,]             X             X             X             X             X

[[2]]
              [,1]          [,2]          [,3]          [,4]          [,5]
[1,]             b             X             X             X             X
[2,]             X             X             X             X             X
[3,]             X             X             X             X             X
[4,]             X             X             X             X             X
[5,]             X             X             X             X             X

etc.

to a new list:

      [,1]
[[1]]    a
[[2]]    b

etc.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
