How to give relative paths?

For example: My pwd is C:\Abc\Xyz\1\1.1\p.cpp

I want to addpath to a previous directory than my cd i.e. I want to refer to directory named 1 (C:\Abc\Xyz\1).

How do I do this? I want to give path of the previous folder.

Use the fileparts function.

Example:

path = 'C:\Abc\Xyz\1\1.1\p.cpp';
[pathstr,name,ext] = fileparts(path);

The ‘pathstr’ variable will be the path string.
