Question is how to get rid these extra parentheses in > the result that Mathematica add itself? Hi Obaid Have a look at the documentation for Part and Flatten. The former is useful for extracting parts of expressions (such as the contents of {{ }} ) and the latter is useful for removing {{ }}. However, be aware that Mathematica's use of brackets is not entirely arbitrary, so make sure you understand why you get the result you do.
