How to get the directory of a file?
For example, I pass in a string
C:\Program Files\nant\bin\nant.exe I want a function that returns me
C:\Program Files\nant\bin I would prefer a built in function that does the job, instead of having manually split the string and exclude the last one.

To get a list of the names of all files present in a directory in Node. js, we can call the readdir method. const testFolder = './folder/path'; const fs = require('fs'); fs. readdir(testFolder, (err, files) => { files.
In Node. js, there are two built-in ways to get the current directory. You can either use the __dirname variable or the process. cwd() method to get the current folder.
The fs. readdir() method is used to asynchronously read the contents of a given directory. The callback of this method returns an array of all the file names in the directory. The options argument can be used to change the format in which the files are returned from the method.
I don't know if there is any built in functionality for this, but it's pretty straight forward to get the path.
path = path.substring(0,path.lastIndexOf("\\")+1); If you use Node.js, path module is quite handy.
path.dirname("/home/workspace/filename.txt") // '/home/workspace/' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
