How to get path directory from FileReader()?

Question

Hi i have these codes to read the file the user has uploaded:

function readURL(input) {
  if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
    var reader = new FileReader();

    reader.onload = function(e) {
      $('#myImg').attr('src', e.target.result);
    }

    reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
  }
}

And the output is a whole chunk of data:

Is there any way i can get the path from the data? for example C:\Users\blackLeather\Desktop

If no,is there another way to get the image directory without having to add into another folder?

No. None at all. That information is not provided to the JavaScript layer by the browser, for security reasons.
