ComfyUI Node: get random text

get random text:

The text-util-random-text node is designed to help you randomly select a piece of text from a given string, based on a specified delimiter. This node is particularly useful when you have a list of options or phrases separated by a specific character and you want to randomly pick one of them. By providing a seed value, you can ensure that the random selection is reproducible, which is beneficial for creating consistent outputs in your AI art projects. This node simplifies the process of random text selection, making it easier to introduce variability and creativity into your work.

get random text Input Parameters:

text

This parameter takes a string input that contains multiple pieces of text separated by a specified delimiter. The node will split this string based on the delimiter and randomly select one of the resulting pieces. The default value is an empty string (''), and it does not support multiline input.

seed

The seed parameter is an integer that initializes the random number generator. By setting a specific seed value, you can ensure that the random selection process is reproducible, meaning the same seed will always produce the same random choice. This is useful for maintaining consistency in your outputs. The default value is 0, with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 0xffffffffffffffff.

char

This parameter specifies the delimiter character used to split the input text into separate pieces. The node will use this character to divide the string and then randomly select one of the resulting segments. The default value is the pipe character ('|'), and it does not support multiline input.

get random text Output Parameters:

text

This output parameter returns the randomly selected piece of text from the input string. It is the result of splitting the input text by the specified delimiter and choosing one of the segments based on the provided seed value.

seed

This output parameter returns the seed value used for the random selection process. This ensures that the random choice can be reproduced if the same seed is used again.

get random text Usage Tips:

• To ensure reproducibility in your random text selection, always use the same seed value when you want to generate the same output.
• Experiment with different delimiter characters to see how they affect the segmentation of your input text and the resulting random selections.
• Use this node to introduce variability in your AI art projects by providing a list of creative options and letting the node randomly select one.

get random text Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: "Input text is empty"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the text parameter is an empty string.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a non-empty string for the text parameter.

Error: "Delimiter not found in input text"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified delimiter character is not present in the input text.
• Solution: Check that the delimiter character you provided is actually present in the input text. If not, choose a different delimiter or modify the input text accordingly.

Error: "Seed value out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the seed value is outside the allowed range (0 to 0xffffffffffffffff).
• Solution: Ensure that the seed value is within the specified range. Adjust the seed value to be within the valid range if necessary.
