Take a look at my Calendar Lines stack which can be found at Rev
Online (in the menu toolbar)
The buttons call a function in the stack script which use split and
the extents to transpose an array.

Given a variable like this, where the first line is headers:
name [tab] color [tab] food
Trevor [tab] green [tab] salad
Sarah [tab] blue [tab] pizza
Richard [tab] orange [tab] burgers
David [tab] purple [tab] fruit
What is the best way to turn this into an array, where the
Using asterisks instead of tabs, put
name*color*food
Trevor*green*salad
Sarah*blue*pizza
into fld 1

Use this script:
--
on mouseUp
set the itemDelimiter to *
put fld 1 into v
put line 1 of v into headers_line
delete line 1 of v
Just had a few rounds with split and combine, and they are not what you think
they are. Split takes the first value in a delimited line and that becomes the
key. The rest of the items become the elements. The commands are fairly useless
for much of anything.

That the split and combines are useless is completely wrong. I use them all the
time and it's a huge timesaver for manipulating x,y matrices. Of course, for
the given Task, they do not work for what you want directly. You'll need to
change the orientation first, for example thusly:

Though Bjoernke's solution looks clever, I could not get it to work.
I ended up with this ugly thing:
function turnIntoArray p
put line 1 of p into tHeaders
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat with x = 2 to the number of lines in p
repeat with y = 1 to
Oi my solution works fine, it must b your computer that's amiss :P
No seriously, i tested it here and it did what I thought you wanted?
