Solved!

How do I get the derectory from a filepath?

Eg.: c:\Users\mko\Documents\test\data.txt

should give me the directory

c:\Users\mko\Documents\test\

Did you try Strip Path primitive?

~~For your case use 2 strip path primitives one after the other~~

Hi P@Anand,

using StripPath just once should be enough to strip the filename from the path…

When I replied I guess I saw the expected path was "c:\Users\mko\Documents".

Yeah you are right using one strip path is sufficient
