Hi,

Most /@ test

??

If your Mathematica has no Most[]

Drop[#,-1] & /@ test

will do it.

| Not having used Mathematica for months, I have 
forgotten some of the little I knew.
|
| I have a list of lists like this:
|
| test = {  {{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}},
| {{2, 3},  {3, 5}},
| {{7,1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
| {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}};
| test // ColumnForm
|              {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}},
|                {{2, 3}, {3, 5}},
|                {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
|                {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}}
|
| What I want to do is just remove the last 
element in each sublist, with this result:
|
|           {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}},
|             {{2, 3}},
|             {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}},
|             {{4, 3}}}
|
| There must be some simple functional way to do 
this, but I haven't found it.
| I will appreciate any tips. Thank you.
