Truncate text after final "\" character

Hi, 

 

I have a table with a 1000's of rows of file paths. I'm only intersted in folders.

 

Say i have a folder path:

 

s:\shared\folder1\folder2\ThisFile.txt

 

And i want to drop the filename:

 

s:\shared\folder1\folder2\

 

Any ideas? I guess the logic is drop all text after the final "/" but not sure how to do it. 

 

Thanks

Andrew

You'd extract the Text.BeforeDelimiter "\" with option "From the end of the input" and then add it back like so: & "\".
