ComfyUI Node: Load Text 🐍

Load Text 🐍| Load Text 🐍:

The LoadText| Load Text 🐍 node is designed to facilitate the loading of text files within your AI art projects. This node allows you to select a directory and a specific text file within that directory, and then it reads the content of the file for further processing. This can be particularly useful for incorporating textual data into your workflows, such as prompts, descriptions, or any other text-based input. The node ensures that the selected file is valid and accessible, providing a seamless way to integrate text data into your creative processes.

Load Text 🐍| Load Text 🐍 Input Parameters:

root_dir

The root_dir parameter allows you to select the root directory from which you want to load text files. This parameter is essential as it defines the scope of directories available for file selection. The available options are dynamically fetched and presented as a list, ensuring that you can only choose from valid directories. This helps in organizing your files and maintaining a structured workflow.

file

The file parameter lets you select the specific text file you wish to load from the chosen root directory. Initially set to "[none]", this parameter is dynamically populated based on the selected root_dir. The node fetches the list of files from the specified directory and updates the options accordingly. This ensures that you can only select from existing files, reducing the risk of errors due to incorrect file paths.

Load Text 🐍| Load Text 🐍 Output Parameters:

STRING

The output of the LoadText| Load Text 🐍 node is a STRING type, which contains the content of the loaded text file. This output can be used in subsequent nodes or processes within your workflow, allowing you to leverage the text data for various purposes such as generating prompts, annotations, or any other text-based input required by your AI art projects.
