ComfyUI Node: DataSet_TextFilesLoad

DataSet_TextFilesLoad:

The DataSet_TextFilesLoad node is designed to streamline the process of loading and reading multiple text files from a specified directory. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to manage and manipulate large datasets of text files efficiently. By automating the retrieval of file names, paths, and contents, it eliminates the need for manual file handling, thus saving time and reducing the risk of errors. The node reads all .txt files in the given directory, extracts their names (with and without extensions), and loads their contents into a structured format. This functionality is essential for tasks that require bulk text processing, such as training AI models, generating datasets, or performing batch text analysis.

DataSet_TextFilesLoad Input Parameters:

directory

The directory parameter specifies the path to the folder containing the text files you want to load. This parameter is crucial as it directs the node to the correct location where the .txt files are stored. The directory path should be provided as a string. The node will then scan this directory to identify and process all text files within it. Ensure that the path is accurate and accessible to avoid any file not found errors.

DataSet_TextFilesLoad Output Parameters:

TextFileNames

The TextFileNames output provides a list of the names of all text files found in the specified directory, including their .txt extensions. This output is useful for identifying and referencing the files that have been loaded.

TextFileNamesWithoutExtension

The TextFileNamesWithoutExtension output offers a list of the names of all text files found in the directory, but without their .txt extensions. This can be particularly helpful when you need to work with file names in a more flexible format.

TextFilePaths

The TextFilePaths output returns a list of the full paths to each text file in the directory. This is essential for any operations that require the exact location of the files on the filesystem.

TextFileContents

The TextFileContents output contains the actual content of each text file as a list of strings. Each entry in the list corresponds to the content of a file, making it easy to access and manipulate the text data directly.

DataSet_TextFilesLoad Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory path provided is correct and accessible to avoid file not found errors.
• Use the TextFileNamesWithoutExtension output if you need to manipulate or display file names without the .txt extension.
• Leverage the TextFileContents output to directly access and process the text data from the files, which can be useful for tasks like text analysis or dataset generation.

DataSet_TextFilesLoad Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: File not found

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified directory path is incorrect or the directory does not contain any .txt files.
• Solution: Verify that the directory path is correct and that it contains the text files you intend to load.

Error reading file: <file_path>

• Explanation: This error indicates that there was an issue reading one of the text files in the directory.
• Solution: Check the file permissions and ensure that the file is not corrupted. Make sure the file is a valid .txt file and is readable.

Error: <exception_message>

• Explanation: This is a general error message that captures any other exceptions that may occur during the execution of the node.
• Solution: Review the exception message for specific details about the error. Common issues might include directory access permissions or unexpected file formats. Address the specific issue mentioned in the exception message.
