ComfyUI Node: Text Random Line

Text Random Line:

The Text Random Line node is designed to randomly select a line from a given block of text. This can be particularly useful for generating varied and dynamic text outputs from a predefined set of lines, such as prompts, quotes, or any multiline text data. By leveraging a seed value, the node ensures that the random selection can be reproducible, which is beneficial for consistency in outputs across different runs. This node is part of the WAS Suite and falls under the Text category, making it a versatile tool for AI artists looking to introduce randomness and variability into their text-based projects.

Text Random Line Input Parameters:

text

The text parameter is a multiline string input that contains the block of text from which a random line will be selected. Each line in this block should be separated by a newline character (\n). This parameter is essential as it provides the source from which the random selection will be made. The input type for this parameter is STRING, and it is required for the node to function.

seed

The seed parameter is an integer that sets the seed for the random number generator. This ensures that the random selection of lines can be reproducible if the same seed is used again. The seed value can range from 0 to 0xffffffffffffffff (a very large number), with a default value of 0. By setting this parameter, you can control the randomness and ensure consistent results across different runs.

Text Random Line Output Parameters:

text

The output parameter is a single line of text randomly selected from the input block of text. This output is of type STRING and represents one of the lines from the provided multiline text, chosen based on the specified seed value. The selected line can be used in various applications, such as generating prompts, quotes, or any other text-based content that benefits from random selection.

Text Random Line Usage Tips:

• To ensure reproducibility of the random line selection, always use the same seed value when you want to get the same line from the text block.
• Use a diverse and rich set of lines in the input text to maximize the variability and creativity of the outputs.
• Experiment with different seed values to explore various random selections and find the most suitable lines for your project.

Text Random Line Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid line index

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node attempts to access a line index that is out of the range of the provided text block.
• Solution: Ensure that the input text contains multiple lines separated by newline characters (\n). Verify that the text block is not empty and contains enough lines for random selection.

No file path specified

• Explanation: This error is related to file operations and occurs when a required file path is not provided.
• Solution: Ensure that the text input is directly provided as a multiline string rather than relying on file paths. This node does not require file paths for its operation.

The path specified cannot be found

• Explanation: This error is related to file operations and occurs when the specified file path does not exist.
• Solution: Ensure that the text input is directly provided as a multiline string rather than relying on file paths. This node does not require file paths for its operation.
