  Honestly i don't understand. In my code i was referring to the 
variable as 'target'; But when came time to return a string it 
needs the full name/location to refer to (as a string) to inject 
the code, which then the 'stringof' didn't help.

  I've already done a workaround that resolves the problem, we can 
refer back to this another time if another solution presents 
itself.
