Is there an api or VCL function to return the parent directory of a given
path? For example, given "c:\\dir1\\dir2\\dir3\\dir4" is there a fucntion
that would return "c:\\dir1\\dir2\\dir3"? Basically reverse parse the
hierarchy directory structure.

thanks for any info.

ExtractFilePath(), as long as the path doesn't have a trailing backslash on
it.  If it does, then you'll have to strip it off first.
