what is easiest way change path one root upper.

i need convert path=dir1\dir2\dir3\ to path=dir1\dir2\

maybe rsplit, but is it supported in xbmc?

problem is :
from there must choose:
version 1= path=dir1\dir2\dir3\version1\this
version 2= path=dir1\dir2\dir3\version2\this
version 3= path=dir1\dir2\dir3\version3\this


must put in there:
dir1\dir2\dir3\this

thanks if anybody can help

want to do this with python?

path.split('\\') gives an array: ['dir1', 'dir2', 'dir3', '']

from there you will be able to join it once again.

thanks a lot

i must try again

for crossplatform issues I would suggest using os.path.sep ..

path = os.path.join('dir1','dir2','dir3')
dirs = path.split(os.path.sep)

where dirs is an array ['dir1', 'dir2', 'dir3']

os.sep

You can also use:

Code:

mydir = os.path.dirname( path )

It will give you te directory or the item identified by the path (if it ia a file or a dir).
