How can I make a print function only unpack the first string of a table?

table.unpack and table.pack are purely Lua 5.2+ features. That being said, unpack is still the wrong tool for the job here. If you only care about the first entry in the table, unpacking the entire thing is not necessary. Just index the array for it's first element:
local ta = {"123335","123124124"}
print(ta[1])
