Retrieving path from string

I have been looking in the reference manual and searching the forums, but I can't find what I'm looking for.  I have a string like "C:\Users\ccote1\Desktop\Baseline Diffs\test.html" and want to grab the path from the string.  I noticed the stripPath function, but it is doing the opposite of what I want.  I'd settle for a function that works like JavaScript's lastIndexOf (to find the last backslash) to use with the substring function.
