(piping) .write method is not defined

The line .pipe(write('./')) fails in my fulp file it says that the write method is not defined. I am not sure what to do about this one. :(

Using gulpfile C:\sites\html\local.fuel.co.uk\fuel\application\gulpfile.js [16:39:10] Starting 'build'...

Actually solved it by watching the next video... correct syntax is .pipe(maps.write('./')).

It's actually incorrect on the video itself - despite showing it working :S

Now on to the next error message ^.^

He goes back and fixes it during the video after he gets the same error.

Use

.pipe(maps.write('./')

Instead of 

.pipe(write('./')

You can watch that in the next video....
