Is there a straightforward way to convert
arr =
a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b
;
to:
a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b
?
I need to swap the first and last dimension. Which should in principle be possible, because, although arr does not have a fixed structure, the 'bottom' is always uniform:
Level[arr, -2]
a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b
Had Transpose/Flatten/MapThread accepted a negative level specification, it would have been easy. That is not the case.
One can think about that question as: How do I create arr2 so that arr[[whatever__, y_]] == arr2[[y, whatever__]]?
EDIT:
In general Level[arr, -2] should be a rectangular array, but rows do not need to be the same.
So this:
a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3, a4, b4, a5, b5, a6, b6, a7,b7 ;
should end up:
a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7 , ...;
