Using Split-Path to Retrieve the Parent Directory

To retrieve the parent directory from a file path, use the following PowerShell commands:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Define the file path
$Variable = "c:\temp\fichier.log"
 
# Retrieve the parent directory
$Variable = $Variable | Split-Path
 
# Output the result
$Variable

In this example, the parent directory of c:\temp\fichier.log is c:\temp.

Example with Different Paths

You can apply the same command to different paths. Here is another example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Define the file path
$Variable = "c:\temp\exploit"
 
# Retrieve the parent directory
$Variable = $Variable | Split-Path
 
# Output the result
$Variable

In this case, the parent directory of c:\temp\exploit is also c:\temp.
