Based on the location of the .pro file, I would like to determine the parent path (so effectively chop the last path level). E.g. I have c:\sources\projects\dummyProject\code\ dummy.pro Path to pro-File is: c:\sources\projects\dummyProject\code How can I generate this? c:\sources\projects\dummyProject

Try with: defineReplace(cleanPath) { win32:1 ~= s|\\\\|/|g contains(1, ^/.*):pfx = / else:pfx = segs = $ $split(1, /) out = for(seg, segs) { equals(seg, ..):out = $ $member(out, 0, -2) else:!equals(seg, .):out += $ $seg } win32:return($$join(out, \\, $ $pfx)) return($$join(out, /, $ $pfx)) } sub_dir = $ $_PRO_FILE_PWD_/../testme path_for_cmd = $ $cleanPath($ $sub_dir) message($ $path_for_cmd) With additional space between $ removed

@kkmspb you're welcome!

That's likely related to the old forum which rendered double $ as single hence using a space was mandatory in the answer to show that two were required.
