Maybe this would do the trick for you:
x=/path/to/file/filename.txt
y=$x%/*
echo $y
you should get
/path/to/file

You can use string operations to parse the file_name out (https://stackoverflow.com/a/3162500).
Delete the shortest matching file_name from the end of full_path using % operator.
full_path=/path/to/file/filename.txt
file_name=$full_path##*/
echo "$full_path%$file_name"
Replace full_path with your desired input and it will return /path/to/file/
