Hi,

> I will be grateful if you could provide me with the Julia command of **cd…**

For example I get the directory from:

```julia
	Home = @ __DIR__

```

Which gives me  
_D:\Main\MODELS\SoilWater-ToolBox2\src\HyPix_

So what command can I use to get?  
\*D:\Main\MODELS\SoilWater-ToolBox2\src\*

Many thanks for any help you may provide,  
Joseph

I believe you are looking for [`dirname`](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/file/#Base.Filesystem.dirname)

Or just `cd("..")`
