It bothered me now.So i had to come up with a way to, but I would prolly choose the first one opver my own.
DECLARE @LastValue varchar(100)
declare @string varchar (100)
set @string = 'x:\folder1\folder2\folder3\test.txt'
SET @LastValue = ( CHARINDEX('\', REVERSE(@string)))
select SUBSTRING(@string,1, (LEN(@STRING) - CONVERT(INT,@LastValue))+1)
This actually is pretty good. With a little modification you can remove the extra variable.
select SUBSTRING(@string,1, LEN(@STRING) - CHARINDEX('\', REVERSE(@string)) +1)
