I'm looking for a function similar to dos_getdir that allows me to set a default path and the possibility of going to a higher level.
All those I have found (the best one is that of LeeMac that I report) do not allow to go to a higher level than the default path.
;; Browse for Folder - Lee Mac
;; Displays a dialog prompting the user to select a folder.
;; msg - [str] message to display at top of dialog
;; dir - [str] [optional] root directory (or nil)
;; bit - [int] bit-coded flag specifying dialog display settings
;; Returns: [str] Selected folder filepath, else nil.
(defun LM:browseforfolder ( msg dir bit / err fld pth shl slf )
(setq err
(vl-catch-all-apply
(function
(lambda ( / app hwd )
(if (setq app (vlax-get-acad-object)
shl (vla-getinterfaceobject app "shell.application")
hwd (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-get-hwnd (list app))
fld (vlax-invoke-method shl 'browseforfolder (if (vl-catch-all-error-p hwd) 0 hwd) msg bit dir)
)
(setq slf (vlax-get-property fld 'self)
pth (vlax-get-property slf 'path)
pth (vl-string-right-trim "\\" (vl-string-translate "/" "\\" pth))
)
)
)
)
)
)
(if slf (vlax-release-object slf))
(if fld (vlax-release-object fld))
(if shl (vlax-release-object shl))
(if (vl-catch-all-error-p err)
(prompt (vl-catch-all-error-message err))
pth
)
)

I'm not aware of a way to achieve this using the LISP API; I'd happily be proved wrong!

trying to get rid of doslib?

Alternatively, you can use (acet-ui-pickdir "Select folder" "C:\\"). I'm not sure, but I think it belongs to ExpressTools extension, which is installed by default.

yes I know but I prefer to use DoLib instead of ExpressTools... 8)

Once you get the directory you can pull it apart and look at level above, I think the lisp I am looking for is splitstr it is a lisp function odd name, I have used it.
"C:\\dir1\\dir2\\dir3\\dir4"
so = ("dir1" "dir2" dir3" dir4") so answer required is c:\\dir1\\dir2\\dir3 ie strcat (up to length-1)

There was a time I felt the same, but now that it’s open source, I wouldn’t mind the dependency.

(setq TmpStr "" StrLng (1+ (strlen PatStr)))
(repeat (strlen PatStr)
(if (member (setq TmpCar (substr PatStr (setq StrLng (1- StrLng)) 1)) '( "\\" "/"))

(setq TmpStr (strcat TmpCar TmpStr))
)
)
(if (/= TmpStr "") (cons TmpStr OutLst) OutLst)
)but what I'm looking for is the ability to switch for example from one path in one drive to another in a different drive
