Let's say I have the following path "HD:Folder1:Folder2:Folder3:File.ext"
How can you get the directory in which the file is?
How can you easily get the path of one directory up "HD:Folder1:Folder2:"

What about 2 directories up?


set foo to alias "Dora:folder1:folder2:folder3:folder4:"
tell application "Finder"
    folder of foo
end tell
--> alias "Dora:folder1:folder2:folder3:"

You can make this recursive for as many levels as you want/need to traverse up the path.
