ComfyUI Node: Remove Commented Text

Remove Commented Text:

The JNodes_RemoveCommentedText node is designed to help you clean up your text by removing commented sections, making it more readable and easier to process. This node is particularly useful when you have large blocks of text with comments that you want to strip out, either for clarity or to prepare the text for further processing. It can handle both single-line comments and multi-line comments enclosed within specific delimiters. By using this node, you can ensure that only the essential parts of your text are retained, which can be especially beneficial in scenarios where comments might interfere with text analysis or generation tasks.

Remove Commented Text Input Parameters:

text

This parameter takes the input text that you want to process. It should be a string and can include multiple lines. The text will be scanned for comments based on the specified comment delimiters, and those comments will be removed. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it should be a valid string.

starting_line_comment

This parameter specifies the delimiter for single-line comments. By default, it is set to #. Any line in the text that starts with this delimiter will be considered a comment and will be removed. This helps in cleaning up lines that are meant to be ignored or are not part of the main content.

enclosed_comment_start

This parameter defines the starting delimiter for multi-line comments. The default value is ##. Any text enclosed between this starting delimiter and the enclosed_comment_end delimiter will be considered a comment and will be removed. This is useful for removing large blocks of commented text.

enclosed_comment_end

This parameter defines the ending delimiter for multi-line comments. The default value is ##. It works in conjunction with the enclosed_comment_start parameter to identify and remove multi-line comments from the text.

Remove Commented Text Output Parameters:

STRING

The output is a cleaned version of the input text with all the specified comments removed. This string will contain only the non-commented lines and sections of the original text, making it more concise and easier to work with for further processing or analysis.

Remove Commented Text Usage Tips:

• Use the default comment delimiters (# for single-line and ## for multi-line) if your text follows common commenting conventions to save time on configuration.
• Customize the starting_line_comment, enclosed_comment_start, and enclosed_comment_end parameters if your text uses different comment delimiters to ensure all comments are correctly identified and removed.
• Before processing large texts, test the node with a small sample to ensure that the comment delimiters are correctly set and that the desired text is retained.

Remove Commented Text Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid delimiter settings

• Explanation: If the comment delimiters are not set correctly, the node may fail to identify and remove comments as expected.
• Solution: Double-check the values of starting_line_comment, enclosed_comment_start, and enclosed_comment_end to ensure they match the comment syntax used in your text.

Unexpected output format

• Explanation: The output text may not be as expected if the input text contains unusual or nested comment structures.
• Solution: Review the input text to identify any complex comment patterns and adjust the delimiters or manually clean the text if necessary.

Empty output

• Explanation: If the input text is entirely composed of comments, the output will be an empty string.
• Solution: Ensure that the input text contains non-commented lines that you want to retain. If the text is meant to be entirely comments, reconsider the need to process it with this node.
