remove the filename from a string
I have a string like this /Development/ST/st000001su/Outbound/Prod/PROD-732QCJ/63acf2caf91bc136cb9bcce8a85c7fa8/PGP/PGP.txt

I want to remove the PGP.txt and I want only the /Development/ST/st000001su/Outbound/Prod/MCFR-732QCJ/63acf2caf91bc136cb9bcce8a85c7fa8/PGP returned.

I saw an command called basename in this forum, but that gives the filename.

I dont need the filename but need the directory name.

CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLI(1)					    CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLINE Manual 				     CLAWS-MAIL-PGPINLI(1)

NAME

       claws-mail-pgpinline - Handling of PGP/Inline signed and/or encrypted mails.

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-pgpinline plugin.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-pgpinline is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       This plugin allows decrypting mails, verifying signatures and sign or encrypt your own mails using PGP/Inline.

       It requires GnuPG and GPGME.

       Notice this method for signing or encryption is deprecated and you probably should be using PGP/MIME, but it is still provided for
       compatibility with user agents which are unable to handle the 10-year old PGP/MIME standard (being Outlook from Windows platform the most
       noticeable example).

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For this you must go "Configuration" menu on main window toolbar, open "Plugins..."  dialog, click on the "Load plugin..."  button and
       select the plugin file, named pgpinline.so, and press the "Open" button.

FILES

       /usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/pgpinline.so
	   The loadable module for claws-mail-pgpinline.

       ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
	   Configuration file for GnuPG, read man gpg for details.

BUGS

       Please use reportbug claws-mail-pgpinline for reporting Debian bugs for this package.

       The upstream BTS can be found at http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi.
