Python expression

[Skyrush]

Hi, I have to get the last character of the node's name into group parameter of blast node.  In this case, the name of blast node is blast1, so I need the last character 1, and put it in into group parameter.

nodeName = hou.node(".")
last_char = nodeName[-1]
return(last_char)

 

And I get error 

Error:       Unable to evaluate expression (
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in expression
TypeError: 'SopNode' object is not subscriptable
 (/obj/geo1/blast1/group)).

The problem is that hou.node() returns an object, not a string. With something like  nodeName = hou.node(".").name() it could work better.
