How to get complete path in variable excluding last word?
Hello Experts,
Can you please help me by providing a code which can give me the complete path except last word in a variable, the variable i can use anywhere else for my operation
eg:
if this below one is my path:
user/oracle/Test_admin/myfolder/bakup/part_bkptemp_part_bkp_repeated/list.txt
I want a code which can pull
user/oracle/Test_admin/myfolder/bakup/part_bkptemp_part_bkp_repeated/
in a variable excluding "list.txt" [last word.]
Please help
