Use Input->Get File Path ... and prepend the result with DirectoryName

Hope this helps,

Hallo,

I have written a program which calls Mathematica via MathLink. However,
the answere of my question needn't has to do with MathLink. In my
program I read out the pathname from a FileDialog, for example
"C:\FILES\TEXT.DAT"
and send it to a package in Mathematica. Here (in the
Mathematica-Package) I want to use it in a SetDirectory-command without
the filename at the end and with double ' \': "C:\\FILES".
Of course for the the conversion " \ -> \\ " I can call StringReplace
but how can I get rid of the filename? Or does somebody have a
different solution for my problem?

Thank you

                            Witold
