Helge,
Here is one way to do it if each equation consists of more than 1
term. In the set you gave your last equation reduces to 3a[0,2]=0. I
have modified it for this illustration. I am sure the Mathematica
gurus have a slicker way that even works for your case.
myeqns = {3 a[0, 0] + 2 a[0, 2] + 4 a[2, 0] == 0,
-1 a[0, 0] + 0.3 a[2, 0] == 0,
4 a[0, 2] - 1 a[0, 1] == 0}
In[10]:=
Map[Drop[#, -1] &, Map[Cases[#, x_?NumberQ, 3] &, eqns]]
Out[10]=
{{3, 2, 4}, {-1, 0.3}, {-1, 4}}
Cheers,
Brian
