Parent dir path in Kotlin

To get the parent directory path in Kotlin, you can use the File.parent property of a File object. Here's an example:

import java.io.File
fun main(args: Array) {

    // absolute file path

    val filePath = "/Users/user/Documents/myfile.txt"

    

    // create a File object

    val file = File(filePath)

    

    // get the parent directory path

    val parentDir = file.parent

    

    // print the parent directory path

    println("Parent directory path: $parentDir")

}

In this example, the File object is created using an absolute file path, but it can also be created using a relative file path. The parent property returns the parent directory path as a string, which is then printed to the console.

Output: Parent directory path: /Users/user/Documents
