ComfyUI Node: Summary Text Files 🐑

Summary Text Files 🐑| Summary Text Files 🐑:

The SummaryTextFiles| Summary Text Files 🐑 node is designed to streamline the process of summarizing text files within a specified directory. Its primary function is to read multiple text files, concatenate their contents, and optionally insert separators between them for clarity. This node is particularly beneficial for users who need to quickly compile and review large volumes of text data, as it can automatically generate a comprehensive summary of all files with a specified extension in a given directory. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to save the generated summary to a file, making it a valuable tool for organizing and managing text-based information efficiently.

Summary Text Files 🐑| Summary Text Files 🐑 Input Parameters:

directory

This parameter specifies the path to the directory containing the text files you wish to summarize. It is crucial as it determines the location from which the node will retrieve the files. There are no specific minimum or maximum values, but it should be a valid directory path.

add_separator

This boolean parameter determines whether a separator should be added between the contents of each file in the summary. If set to True, a separator indicating the file name will be inserted, which can help distinguish between different files in the summary. The default value is False.

save_to_file

This boolean parameter indicates whether the generated summary should be saved to a file. If True, the summary will be written to a file with the specified name in the same directory. The default value is False.

file_extension

This parameter specifies the file extension of the text files to be summarized, such as .txt. It filters the files in the directory, ensuring only those with the specified extension are included in the summary. There are no specific minimum or maximum values, but it should be a valid file extension.

summary_file_name

This parameter defines the name of the file where the summary will be saved if save_to_file is set to True. It should be a valid file name, and there are no specific minimum or maximum values.

trigger_signal

This parameter acts as a trigger for the operation. It does not affect the summary process directly but can be used to initiate the node's execution in a workflow.
