actually I believe removeChars(len(listLast(...))) is faster than reverse(),
but I could be wrong. Not that it really matters unless you're doing it in
a loop...

There is also a non regex solution that's fairly simple:
<cfset uppath = Reverse(ListRest(Reverse(Expandpath("")),"/\"))>
Get the current base template directory, reverse it, drop the first element
and reverse it again...
