I'm trying to work out how to get a parent comment (if any) of a comment. The API documentation lists an attribute of comments 'path', which seems to hold a real, but it doesn't explain anywhere (that I could find), how to derive the parent comment from that.
Can anyone point me towards a resource to help me work this out?
Thanks in advance.

Path is build up like this:
"0.97159.97160"
0 = The post itself
97159 = the parent comment id
97160 = the "current" comment id ( should be the same as comment.id )
You can ping me if you have another question!
