How can I list all sections under a chapter in TOC, in one (wrapped) line (without pagenumber is fine)? Thanks.
Expected,:
Chapter 1 .................................................... 10
section 1 -- section 2 -- section3 -- section 4 - secti-
on5 -- section6 -- section 7
Chapter 2 .....................................................15
section 1 -- section 2 -- section3 -- section 4 - secti-
on5 -- section6
The LaTeX Companion 2ed contains a few examples for this type of request, e.g. 2-3-12.ltx, 2-3-13.ltx that can be found on CTAN
Here is one of them:

The result then looks as follows:
The book examples use a special .toc file to always show the same structure in different examples, but, of course, instead of this simply using \tableofcontents works if the document has sections and chapters. In the above example the chapter entry has a reversed title and page number but obviously that can be easily changed by dropping or changing the \titlecontents declaration for "chapter".
