Hi,

and you don't like to tell us *what* your inner 
product is ?
*and* you are unable to compute

InnerProduct[vector,#] & /@ 
{basisUnitVector1,basisUnitVector2,...}

very strange.
Regards
  Jens

|I would like to know if there is a function 
capable of giving as output

For example:
|
| FunctionX[{1,2,3}, {{1,2,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}}]
|
| (where the first argument is the vector and the 
second the basis)
|
| would yield
|
| {1,0,3}
|
| and
|
| FunctionX[f x1 - b x2 + x3 - x2, {x1,x2,x3}]
|
| would yield
|
| {f, -b-1, 1}
|
| I'm more interested in the second case, 
obviously, because the first one
| can be achieved with a simple matrix 
multiplication.
