Seems like "dirName" in std.path is a good candidate ;)
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#.dirName

You'll find many other path manipulation functions there.

Thanks! But if I want to strip it, how I can cut it?
dirName gives the directory,  baseName the filename, 
stripExtension strips it, so seems like what you want is
dirName  ~ stripExtension( baseName )

easier than that.  Looks like stripExtension handles the whole 
path.

assert (stripExtension("dir/file.ext")   == "dir/file");
