Issue
Edit I am still wondering why this question is closed. Parent is not what I was looking for. Maybe somebody can explain why this question is not opened again? Thank you.
This question has nothing to do with "parent"! So, I do not know why the question was closed and an answer for a parent directory was mentioned.
A question about bash on macOS
I have a file name which is something like
/Users/johndoe/Desktop/folder/file.txt
But I only need the path part
/Users/johndoe/Desktop/folder
with or without the last /, both is OK.
I have no idea how to do it, so I can't provide anything I have tried.
//Edit: There is a discussion now if I asked for the parent path or not. I didn't. Here is the definition what a parent path is.
Solution
dirname /Users/johndoe/Desktop/folder/file.txt
