Hi,
you mean
Table[#[[i, i]], {i, Length[#]}] &@ m
or with (Mathematica 6.0)*
Diagonal[m]
or if you whant to use Map*[]
Reap[MapIndexed[If[Equal @@ #2, Sow[#1]] &, m, {2}]][[2, 1]]
or
First /@ MapIndexed[RotateLeft[#1, #2[[1]] - 1] &, m]
or
MapIndexed[ #1[[#2[[1]]]] &, m]
or
MapIndexed[ First @ Take[#1, #2] &, m]
Regards
Jens
