findFiles step result to expose folder of the matched result separately

      Some commands may need the folder containing the result, rather than path to the matched result. Consider following example:

      I have a folder c:\tests\xunit with files results1.xml and results2.xml

      then execute a search:

      findFiles('˜tests***1.xml')

      The search will find the results1.xml file and FileWrapper properties would be:

      .name = results1.xml

      .path = tests\xunit\results1.xml

      .directory = false

       

      This feature request is to provide a property with path without file name, e.g.:

      tests\xunit

          Can't you use something like this:

          fileList = findFiles(glob: 'tests***1.xml')
fileDir = fileList[0].path.minus(fileList[0].name)

          I tested it and it works for me.

          Thanks,

          It looks good as a workaround, except in some edge cases where matched filename as a string is also found in the directory path.
