ComfyUI Node: Text Find and Replace Input

Text Find and Replace Input:

The Text Find and Replace Input node is designed to streamline the process of searching for specific text within a given string and replacing it with another specified text. This node is particularly useful for tasks that involve text manipulation, such as correcting typos, updating terminology, or customizing text content dynamically. By automating the find-and-replace operation, it saves you time and ensures consistency across your text data. The node performs a sequential search and replace, ensuring that each instance of the target text is replaced one by one, which can be crucial for maintaining the intended structure and meaning of the text.

Text Find and Replace Input Input Parameters:

text

This parameter represents the input text in which the search and replace operation will be performed. It is the main body of text that you want to modify. The type of this parameter is determined by TEXT_TYPE, and it is required for the node to function. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided.

find

This parameter specifies the text string that you want to search for within the input text. It is the target text that will be replaced. Similar to the text parameter, its type is determined by TEXT_TYPE, and it is required for the operation. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided.

replace

This parameter defines the text string that will replace each occurrence of the find text within the input text. It is the new text that will be inserted in place of the target text. The type of this parameter is also determined by TEXT_TYPE, and it is required for the operation. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided.

Text Find and Replace Input Output Parameters:

result_text

This output parameter contains the modified text after all instances of the find text have been replaced with the replace text. It reflects the final result of the find-and-replace operation.

replacement_count_number

This output parameter provides the count of replacements made as a number. It indicates how many times the find text was found and replaced within the input text.

replacement_count_float

This output parameter provides the count of replacements made as a floating-point number. It serves the same purpose as replacement_count_number but in a different numerical format.

replacement_count_int

This output parameter provides the count of replacements made as an integer. It serves the same purpose as replacement_count_number but in a different numerical format.

Text Find and Replace Input Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the find parameter accurately matches the text you want to replace, including case sensitivity, to avoid unexpected results.
• Use the replace parameter to insert dynamic or updated content into your text, which can be particularly useful for template-based text generation.
• Verify the result_text output to ensure that the replacements have been made correctly and that the text structure remains intact.

Text Find and Replace Input Common Errors and Solutions:

"TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input parameters are not of the expected string type.
• Solution: Ensure that the text, find, and replace parameters are all provided as strings.

"ValueError: empty pattern"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the find parameter is an empty string.
• Solution: Provide a valid non-empty string for the find parameter to specify the text you want to search for.

"AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the text parameter is not provided or is None.
• Solution: Ensure that the text parameter is provided and is a valid string.
