Hi!

I would like to get the directory name out of a full path filename
string.
It seems like the DirectoryName is not working the same with "\\" or
"/".

DirectoryName["d:\\temp\\test.txt"] => d:\temp\
DirectoryName["d:/temp/test.txt"] => Blank

I would like the solution to be platform independent.
Any advices are greatly appreciated!
