Hi, Simon,
I'd guess one of the easier ways is just to do a substitution which
will just replace each three-element sublist with the first two of its
elements:
In[370]:=
l1 = {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3, z3}, {x4, y4}}
Out[370]=
{{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3, z3}, {x4, y4}}
In[371]:=
l1 /. {{a_, b_, c_} -> {a, b}}
Out[371]=
{{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3}, {x4, y4}}
Hope that helps!
