Syntax Question-parg, karg, and multiple items from the same file

[Wolvezi]

I've read through most of the shortcodes, and I have a couple of questions.

• First, what are parg and karg?
• Second, is there a simple way to choose multiple entries from a file, or do we have to loop them?

For example, if I I have a file common\HairColor and I want to output something like: HairColor1 and Haircolor2 into the prompt, is there something like Dynamic Prompt's method of Choosing Multiple Values, which can easily specify "I want X items from this list. [And optionally:] without choosing the same option twice, with this custom separator"?

Apologies if I missed it in the docs.

EDIT: Never mind this question, I just found it in the guide.
Also: can I nest in a txt file like:

                 Dog{
                            Golden Retreiver
                            Doberman}}}
                 Wolf{
                            Artic Wolf
                            Grey Wolf}}}
Feline{
                 Cat{
                            Lion
                            Tiger}}}                           

Where possible outputs are Golden Retreiver, Doberman, ~~Artic Wolf, Grey Wolf, Lion, or Tiger?< /s>

Hi @Wolvezi,

Thanks for reaching out!

In response to your questions:

First, what are parg and karg?

A parg is a positional argument. This refers to a setting in the shortcode that does not take a value; it is either present or it is not.

A kwarg is a keyword argument. This refers to a setting in the shortcode that must take a value.

Here is an example of both:

[image_edit input="c:/my/picture.png" return copy]

In this example, input is a kwarg while return and copy are pargs.

Second, is there a simple way to choose multiple entries from a file, or do we have to loop them?

[..] can easily specify "I want X items from this list. [And optionally:] without choosing the same option twice, with this custom separator"?

Yes, you can [choose] multiple items from a list. For example:

[choose 3 _sep="+"]
red
blue
green
yellow
black
white
[/choose]

Testing this in the ComfyUI node just gave me white+yellow+green:

For more details on this shortcode, please consult the docs here:

Hope that helps!

What about choosing from the .txt files?

e.g. [choose_ 3 _sep="+"] [call Classic\Artists] [/choose]. In Comfy, this returns only 1 artists and the + symbol

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to test this in Comfy yet, but using [choose] with an external file seems to work correctly in the WebUI:

Please check on a few things:

1. There is a syntax error in your comment, you have an extra underscore in [choose_.
2. Backslashes are problematic on some systems. Try [call classic/artists] instead.
3. I was able to reproduce the problematic result (e.g. red+) when the external file is wrapped in an extra [choose] block. For example, if classic/artists.txt looks like this:

[choose]
artist_one
artist_two
artist_three
[/choose]

You will get an error. You have two options. 1) Remove the extra [choose] block such that your text file looks like this:

artist_one
artist_two
artist_three

Or 2) keep the [choose] block in your text file and just [call classic/artists] in the Unprompted node. In other words, make sure you're not doubling up on [choose].

If none of those suggestions help, please send me any extra error log details from your terminal and I will take a closer look. Thank you!
