Here's a routine I wrote a while ago to do this: on BackupOneLevel sPathIn sPathOut = sPathIn theDelim = the last Char of sPathIn delete the last char of sPathOut -- delete delim
repeat while TRUE
lastChar = the last Char of sPathOut
if lastChar = theDelim then
exit repeat
end if
delete the last char of sPathOut
end repeat
return sPathOut
end
Enjoy,
Irv

hey list --
is there a way to go back up a file structure? my file structure is like
this:
intro.dir
english/intro.dir
french/intro.dir
i know how to go deeper using get moviePath, @ ect. but is there a way to go
back up like on the web (ie ../ or ./). have been looking but am not sure if
parsing the moviePath is the greatest idea or the only idea. please no
xtras. just straight code. thanks
