Nasser,
One possibility is...
e = {a, {b}};
Print[StringDrop[StringDrop[ToString[e], 1], -1]]
a, {b}

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
