Houdini- Tech Effects- Particle Wave

Stepping through the class, following the recipe's (as well as trying to figure out alternate solutions), I've run into an error I can't seem to get around yet...

Particle Wave, part 1, 24mins in. Adding the expression:
Code:
`strcat("selGrp_", stamp("..","FOREACH",""))`
to the Delete node inside the foreach node


I keep erroring out with the following error:
Code:
Error:       Bad data type for function or operation (group)
Looks to be the exact same syntax as in the video, not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

BTW... great set of lessona. I've watched them through once.. Now I'm doing them as lessons.

Cheers,
-quinn

Change the code to this...The way the foreach has been changed, and needs a placeholder integer instead of ""


Code:
`strcat("selGrp_", stamp("..","FOREACH",0))`

I don't have the video, but are you sure they aren't using the stamps() function as opposed to stamp(). Generally stamps() is used for stamping "string" values, which it looks like you may be doing here.

Yeah, what Tomoku said .

This change came through around 9.1 to 9.5 I think, the datatypes just got a bit more strict.
