Split String by Newline

Documentation

• Class name: SaltSplitByNewline
• Category: SALT/String
• Output node: False

The node splits a given text into a list of strings based on newline characters, optionally stripping whitespace and ignoring lines that start with common comment symbols (#, //).

Input types

Required

• text
  • The text to be split into lines. This input allows for the processing of multiline text, enabling the node to operate on extensive or compact text data.
  • Comfy dtype: STRING
  • Python dtype: str
• strip_text
  • A boolean flag that determines whether whitespace should be stripped from the beginning and end of each line, as well as ignoring lines that start with comment symbols.
  • Comfy dtype: BOOLEAN
  • Python dtype: bool

Output types

• list
  • Comfy dtype: LIST
  • A list of strings derived from the input text, split based on newline characters and optionally processed according to the strip_text parameter.
  • Python dtype: List[str]
• strings
  • Comfy dtype: STRING
  • A duplicate of the list output, provided for compatibility or further processing needs.
  • Python dtype: List[str]

Usage tips

• Infra type: CPU
• Common nodes: unknown
