How to get the directory of a file?
For example, I pass in a string
JavaScript

C:Program Filesnantbinnant.exe

I want a function that returns me
JavaScript

C:Program Filesnantbin

I would prefer a built in function that does the job, instead of having manually split the string and exclude the last one.
Edit: I am running on Windows

path = path.substring(0,path.lastIndexOf("\")+1);
