ComfyUI Node: Save Text 🐍

Save Text 🐍| Save Text 🐍:

The SaveText| Save Text 🐍 node is designed to facilitate the saving of text data to a specified file on your system. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to store generated text, logs, or any other textual information as part of their creative workflows. By leveraging this node, you can easily write text to files, ensuring that your data is preserved and can be accessed or referenced later. The node supports various modes of file writing, including appending to existing files or creating new ones, providing flexibility based on your specific needs.

Save Text 🐍| Save Text 🐍 Input Parameters:

root_dir

The root_dir parameter specifies the root directory where the text file will be saved. This parameter is crucial as it defines the base path for the file operations. You can select from a list of valid directories, ensuring that the file is saved in an appropriate and accessible location. The available options are dynamically fetched based on the system's configuration.

file

The file parameter denotes the name of the file where the text will be saved. This parameter is essential as it determines the exact file to which the text will be written. If the file already exists and the append mode is set to "new only," an error will be raised. Otherwise, the text will be written to the specified file, either by appending to it or overwriting it based on the append parameter.

text

The text parameter contains the actual text data that you want to save to the file. This is the core content that will be written to the specified file. The text can be any string, and it will be saved exactly as provided.

append

The append parameter controls the file writing mode. It can take values such as "append" or "new only." If set to "append," the text will be added to the end of the existing file content. If set to "new only," the node will raise an error if the file already exists, ensuring that no existing file is overwritten.

insert

The insert parameter is a boolean flag that determines whether a newline should be inserted before appending text to an existing file. This is useful for maintaining readability and structure in the file when appending new content.

Save Text 🐍| Save Text 🐍 Output Parameters:

STRING

The output of the SaveText| Save Text 🐍 node is a string that confirms the successful writing of the text to the file. This output can be used to verify that the operation was completed without errors and that the text has been saved as intended.

Save Text 🐍| Save Text 🐍 Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the root_dir is set to a valid and accessible directory to avoid file path errors.
• Use the append parameter wisely based on whether you want to add to an existing file or create a new one. Setting it to "new only" can prevent accidental overwrites.
• Utilize the insert parameter to maintain the readability of your file when appending new text, especially if the file contains multiple entries.

• Solution: Ensure that the file parameter is set to a valid file name and is not empty or set to "[none]."
