Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script retrieves the folder component:

S = new_splitpath()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- Specify the path to be split
sFolder = S:GetFolder()	-- assigns the folder component to the string sFolder
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
