Nasser, One possibility is... e = {a, {b}}; Print[StringDrop[StringDrop[ToString[e], 1], -1]] a, {b} David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Nasser Abbasi [mailto:nma at 12000.org] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net hello I thought this will be easy, but I can't seem to find an easy way to do the following. e={a,{b}} Print[e] ------> This will print {a,{b}} What can I do to make it print a,{b} ? Flatten does not do it. TableForm came close, but it removes all braces, not just the outermost. Many times I get a list as a result which I want to print, but I do not want the outermost braces to be displayed as well. I want to display just the content of the list. thanks, Nasser
