🌻 Txt to CSV Combiner:

The AD_TxtToCSVCombiner is a versatile node designed to streamline the process of converting multiple text files into a single CSV file. This node is particularly beneficial for users who need to consolidate text data from various sources into a structured format for further analysis or processing. By automating the combination of .txt files into a CSV, it saves time and reduces the potential for manual errors. The node offers flexibility in sorting the files either by their filenames or by a numerical prefix, ensuring that the data is organized according to your specific needs. Additionally, it provides the option to include a header in the CSV file, enhancing the readability and usability of the output. This node is an essential tool for AI artists and other users who require efficient data management and transformation capabilities.

🌻 Txt to CSV Combiner Input Parameters:

input_directory

This parameter specifies the directory where the input text files are located. It is crucial for the node to know where to find the .txt files that need to be combined. The default value is "./input_txt_files", and it should be a valid directory path. If the directory does not exist, the node will return an error.

output_directory

This parameter defines the directory where the resulting CSV file will be saved. It ensures that the output is stored in a specified location for easy access. The default value is "./output", and if the directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.

output_filename

This parameter sets the name of the output CSV file. It allows you to specify a custom name for the combined file, making it easier to identify and manage. The default value is "combined_output.csv".

add_header

This boolean parameter determines whether a header row should be added to the CSV file. When set to True, the CSV will include a header with the columns "Filename" and "Content", which can improve the clarity of the data. The default value is True.

sort_by_filename

This boolean parameter controls the sorting method for the text files. If set to True, the files will be sorted alphabetically by their filenames. If set to False, the files will be sorted by a numerical prefix, if present. This option allows for customized organization of the data. The default value is True.

🌻 Txt to CSV Combiner Output Parameters:

output_csv_path

This output parameter provides the path to the generated CSV file. It is a string that indicates where the combined CSV file is saved, allowing you to easily locate and use the output for further processing or analysis.

🌻 Txt to CSV Combiner Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input_directory contains only the text files you wish to combine, as the node will process all .txt files in the specified directory.
• Use the sort_by_filename parameter to control the order of the files in the CSV. This can be particularly useful if the order of data is important for your analysis.
• Consider enabling the add_header option if you plan to share the CSV file with others, as it provides context for the data contained within.

🌻 Txt to CSV Combiner Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: Input directory '<input_directory>' does not exist.

• Explanation: The specified input directory does not exist, so the node cannot find the text files to process.
• Solution: Verify that the input_directory path is correct and that the directory exists. Create the directory if necessary and ensure it contains the desired text files.

Error creating CSV: <error_message>

• Explanation: An error occurred during the creation of the CSV file, possibly due to issues with file permissions or invalid file paths.
• Solution: Check the output_directory and output_filename for correctness. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to write to the specified directory and that the path is valid.
