Oh, gosh. I can't believe there are so many answers without this one.
Code:
VAR="/home/samir/datas/data.txt"
NEWVAR="${VAR%/*}"

Thanks, this is working fine.
If "/home/samir/datas/data.txt" is changed like "/home/samir/datas/Construction" where Construction is a directory then how to extract "/home/samir/datas" from that. |

This would still work as long as there is no trailing slash. It only looks at the text, not what the text means.
Code:
VAR="/home/samir/datas/Construction"
NEWVAR="${VAR%/*}"
