Steve's method is very slick.
I think this is a bit easier to understand.
A <- matrix(1:9, 3, 3)
A
B <- matrix(nrow=2, ncol=3)
B[lower.tri(B, diag=TRUE)] <- A[lower.tri(A)]
B[upper.tri(B, diag=FALSE)] <- A[upper.tri(A)]
B
> A <- matrix(1:9, 3, 3)
> A
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 4 7
[2,] 2 5 8
[3,] 3 6 9
> B <- matrix(nrow=2, ncol=3)
> B[lower.tri(B, diag=TRUE)] <- A[lower.tri(A)]
> B[upper.tri(B, diag=FALSE)] <- A[upper.tri(A)]
> B
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 2 4 7
[2,] 3 6 8
