Split string of folder path

Question

If I have a file path such as:

var/www/parent/folder

How would I go about removing the last folder to return:

var/www/parent

The folders could have any names, I'm quite happy using regex.

Thanks in advance.

This is no specialized version of split per se, but you can split by the path.sep like so:

import path from 'path';

filePath.split(path.sep);
