Default code to strip back (from the right) a directory but not the file name

I have a path
eg. s:\jobs\2003\12345\construction\file.xls

I want to find the code that strips a level of this path
out i.e. remove \construction. (Go up a directory)
eg. s:\jobs\2003\12345\file.xls

This is so my destination file can be automatically
relinked to a source file that is kept in the directory
above the current destination files directory.

Thank you very much
Chrissie.
