My only defense to the laughing is to justify that the code was me just
messing around. Laugh away though, wont be the first nor the last!
I do appreciate your answer but the true question is how to:
Get path 2 directories up from some known path, withouth having to interate
backwards like the code shown. I am just feeling there is an easier way to
"move 2 directories up from here".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
