Or not quite so stringishly:

on containerOf(anAlias)

   set text item delimiters to ":"
   set containerPath to (text 1 thru text item -2 of (anAlias as Unicode
text)) & ":"
   set text item delimiters to tid
   containerPath as alias
end containerOf

Betcha the following will have potential bugs in it as well. In short, it's more reliable to go thru one of the known facilities.

set falias to ((path to desktop folder as text) & "Some Folder") as alias

set falias to ((path to desktop folder as text) & "Some File.txt") as alias

on GetAliasContainer(theAlias)

set finfo to info for theAlias

set txdl to text item delimiters

set text item delimiters to ":"

if (folder of finfo is true) then

set dirstr to text items 1 thru -3 of (theAlias as Unicode text)

else

set dirstr to text items 1 thru -2 of (theAlias as Unicode text)

end if

set text item delimiters to txdl

(dirstr as text) as alias

end GetAliasContainer

GetAliasContainer(falias)
