Question extract/select pattern from input

Hey,

examples of the input (text line):

/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/blabla.rar
/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/blabla23124.bin
/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla.bin

and what I need to do is extract/select only the dir path so the output would be:

/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/
/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/
/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla/

I was trying to use sed and I could only get the oposite result, like

Code:
echo /test/test2/test3/noname.rar | sed 's/\/.*\///'

result noname.rar :/

NAME
fte - Text editor SYNOPSIS
fte [[options] files ...] xfte [[options] files ...] vfte [[options] files ...] nfte [[options] files ...] sfte [[options] files ...] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fte. Some detailed documentation is available html format, see below. fte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable. OPTIONS
fte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps. -h -? --help Help on command line options. -! Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration. -l<line>[,<column>] Go to line (and column) in next file on command line. -#<line>[<,column>] Same as -l. Do not use this option. -m[<mode>] Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use default mode. -C[<.cnf>] Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -!. -D[<.dsk>] Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save. -H[<.his>] Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save. -T<tagfile> Load 'tagfile' at startup. -t<tag> Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it. -- The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames. -+ The next argument is not an option even if starting with a '-'. Useful when loading files that begin with a -. -noi18n Do not use locales in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales. -noxmb Do not use XMB functions in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to use just english fonts. -font Select XWindow font to use with xfte. See VIOFONT also. ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of fte. VIOFONT - select font used by xfte ISOCONSOLE - when set, vfte is usign ascii symbols to draw tables. This is useful when iso latin charset is used on console. EXAMPLES
fte -mBIN /usr/bin/vfte load /usr/bin/vfte in BIN mode fte -mBIN -+ -bla- load file -bla- in BIN mode fte -l100,30 win.c go to (100,30) in win.c fte window.cpp load file window.cpp fte -- -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 load files -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 fte -D -H fte.dsk fte.his disable desktop and history loading and saving and load files fte.dsk and fte.his FILES
~/.fterc /usr/local/etc/fte/system.fterc /etc/fte/system.fterc Default configuration files. Includes all keybindings and menus compiled with cfte(1) from config files in /usr/share/doc/fte/config-exam- ple.tar.gz. SEE ALSO
