Category: File function (found in the "Special" category in the EasyMorph application)

This function extracts the directory path from a full file path, excluding the file name.

Return value type: Text.

Return values containing only a root path will include the trailing backslash while non-root paths will not include the trailing backslash. See the "Examples" section below.

When a relative reference is used in a rooted path, only the dot or double-dot is returned without the trailing backslash. See the "Examples" section below.

directory('C:\myproject.morph')  //Returns 'C:\'  (Root paths include a backslash.)

directory('C:\Documents\myproject.morph')  //Returns 'C:\Documents'  (No trailing backslash for non-root paths.)

directory('..\myproject.morph') //Returns '..' (Rooted relative reference excludes the backslash.)

directory('..\MyProjects\March\myproject.morph') //Returns '..\MyProjects\March' (Relative reference)
