The io-text-save node is designed to facilitate the saving of text data to a file. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to store generated text, prompts, or any other textual information in a structured and organized manner. By using this node, you can easily specify the file path, filename prefix, and other parameters to customize how and where your text data is saved. This node ensures that your text data is stored efficiently, making it easy to retrieve and use in future projects. The primary goal of the io-text-save node is to provide a seamless and user-friendly way to save text data, enhancing your workflow and productivity.

save text file Input Parameters:

text

This parameter represents the text content that you want to save to a file. It can be any string of text, such as generated prompts, descriptions, or other textual data. The text content will be written to the specified file.

path

The path parameter specifies the directory where the text file will be saved. It is important to provide a valid directory path to ensure that the file is saved in the desired location. If the directory does not exist, you may encounter an error.

filename_prefix

The filename_prefix parameter allows you to set a prefix for the filename. This is useful for organizing and categorizing your saved text files. The default value is ComfyUI, but you can customize it to suit your needs.

filename_delimiter

This parameter defines the delimiter used to separate different parts of the filename. The default value is _, but you can change it to any character that suits your naming convention.

filename_number_padding

The filename_number_padding parameter specifies the number of digits used for numbering the files. This helps in maintaining a consistent and organized file naming structure. The default value is 4, meaning the file numbers will be padded to four digits (e.g., 0001).

overwrite_mode

The overwrite_mode parameter determines whether existing files with the same name should be overwritten. The default value is false, meaning that the node will not overwrite existing files. If set to true, the node will overwrite any existing files with the same name.

ext

The ext parameter specifies the file extension for the saved text file. The default value is .txt, but you can change it to any other valid text file extension if needed.
