Current Solution

program TransposeMatrix;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
   Classes,
   Generics.Collections,
   StrUtils,
   SysUtils;

type
   TIntegerList = specialize TList<integer>;

procedure ShowUsage;
begin
   Writeln('Usage: please enter the dimension of the matrix and the serialized matrix');
   Halt(1);
end;

function ParseIntegerList(const S: string): TIntegerList;
var
   Tokens: TStringArray;
   Token: string;
   Value: integer;
begin
   if S.Trim = '' then
      ShowUsage;

   Tokens := S.Split([',']);
   if Length(Tokens) < 2 then
      ShowUsage;

   Result := TIntegerList.Create;
   for Token in Tokens do
   begin

      begin
         Result.Free;
         ShowUsage;
      end;
      Result.Add(Value);
   end;
end;

   begin
      if i > 0 then
         Result += ', ';
      Result += IntToStr(List[i]);
   end;
end;

      end;

   Numbers, Transposed: TIntegerList;
begin
   if ParamCount <> 3 then
      ShowUsage;

   if (not TryStrToInt(ParamStr(1), Cols)) or (not TryStrToInt(ParamStr(2), Rows)) then

   end;
end.
