I feel like I'm missing something simple...I'm trying to retrieve a string variable in a string parameter with the detail function. But it's not working?

It is confusing, but I think you need the details function - with an 's' - meaning detail-string. See: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/expressions/details.html [www.sidefx.com]

Eg: `details(0, "test")`

EDIT: Should have typed faster - sepu got the win
