Maxscript back one folder

[giuseppetonello]

How is it possible in Maxscript to go back one or two folders with the command

myDirectory = sysInfo.currentdir

So, if myDirectory returns c:\max\projects\whatever\maps

how do I point to c:\max\projects\?

(
	myDirectory = sysInfo.currentdir
	filteredPath = filterString myDirectory"\\"
	finalPath = ""
	for i = 1 to (filteredPath.count - 1) do
	(
		finalPath = (finalPath + filteredPath[i] + "\\")
	)
	print finalPath
)

Here we go, not pretty but it works.

What is this line doing, specifically?

	finalPath = ""

Wouldn't this be simpler?

pathConfig.removePathLeaf (pathConfig.removePathLeaf sysInfo.currentDir)
