ComfyUI Node: Load Lines From Text File

Load Lines From Text File:

The Load Lines From Text File node is designed to read and load the contents of a text file, line by line, into a list. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to process or analyze text data stored in files. By automating the reading process, it saves time and ensures accuracy, allowing you to focus on creative tasks. The node checks for changes in the file to avoid redundant operations, ensuring that the data is always up-to-date. This functionality is essential for workflows that involve dynamic text data, such as generating prompts, scripts, or other text-based inputs for AI models.

Load Lines From Text File Input Parameters:

file

The file parameter specifies the text file to be loaded. It is a required parameter and must be a valid text file located in the input directory. The node will list all available .txt files in the directory, allowing you to select the desired file from a sorted list. This parameter ensures that the correct file is read, and its contents are loaded into the node for further processing. The file must exist in the specified directory, and it should have a .txt extension.

Load Lines From Text File Output Parameters:

LIST

The LIST output parameter contains the lines of text read from the specified file. Each line in the file is treated as a separate element in the list. This output is crucial for tasks that require line-by-line processing of text data, such as generating prompts, analyzing text, or feeding text data into other nodes or models. The list ensures that the text data is easily accessible and can be manipulated or analyzed as needed.

Load Lines From Text File Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the text file you want to load is placed in the correct input directory and has a .txt extension.
• Use this node to automate the process of reading text data, which can be particularly useful for generating prompts or scripts for AI models.
• Regularly update the text file if the content changes frequently, as the node checks for changes and reloads the file if necessary.

Load Lines From Text File Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid text file: <file>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified text file does not exist in the input directory or has an incorrect file extension.
• Solution: Ensure that the file is placed in the correct input directory and has a .txt extension. Verify the file name and try again.

File not found or inaccessible

• Explanation: This error indicates that the node is unable to locate or access the specified text file.
• Solution: Check the file path and ensure that the file is accessible. Verify that the file permissions allow reading and that the file is not in use by another process.

File hash mismatch

• Explanation: This error occurs when the file's hash does not match the previously stored hash, indicating that the file has changed.
• Solution: This is not necessarily an error but a feature to ensure the file is reloaded if it has changed. If this behavior is unexpected, verify that the file content is stable and not being modified frequently.
