You can use the fnamemodify() function:

let s:dir = fnamemodify(s:file, ":p:h")

See :help fnamemodify() for details on that function.

See :help filename-modiers for the meaning of :p:h.

See :help file-functions for a list of file-related functions and hit <C-]> on a function name to jump to its documentation. You can do the same for list-functions, buffer-functions and so on. Handy, isn't it?
