I am using example given here by @stephan TOC Section & Subsection coloring. Works great however I want to get rid of dots and page numbers.

I added this to the preamble

\let\Contentsline\contentsline 
\renewcommand\contentsline[3]{\Contentsline{#1}{#2}{}}

that removed the page numbers, but do not know how to remove the dots. I would appreciate your help. Its hard to get result without understanding the basics.

Method - 1: Add

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@dotsep}{10000} 
\makeatother

in your preamble.

Method - 2: This can be achieved by tocloft package also. Here one has to use

\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}}

to remove the page numbers and

\renewcommand{\cftdot}{}

to remove the dots.

A MWE will be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tocloft}
% \cftpagenumbersoff{chapters}
\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}}
\addtocontents{toc}{\cftpagenumbersoff{section}} %% Similarly for subsection, figure... as you wish
\renewcommand{\cftdot}{} %empty {} for no dots. you can have any symbol inside. For example put {\ensuremath{\ast}} and see what happens.
