String Essentials - Custom nodes for ComfyUI

Simple string manipulation nodes for ComfyUI (strip/remove text strings, search and replace text strings, preview modified string outputs). Useful for modifying text from LLM outputs (Ollama, Claude.ai, OpenAI ChatGPT), such as prompts or image-to-text description results. No additional Python dependencies or external modules required. Nodes use a small amount of basic Python and Javascript code.

Nodes included:

  • String Textbox
  • String Strip
  • String Replace
  • String Preview

Once added nodes can be found under the Add Node > utils menu.

Features

  • Remove or replace text, words, numbers in input strings
  • Handle multi-word strings (partial sentences/phrases)
  • Case-sensitive/insensitive matching
  • Whole string matching option

  • input_string: The string or text to process
  • strings_to_remove: List of strings to remove (one per line)
  • match_case: Enable/disable case-sensitive matching
  • match_whole_string: Ensure only exact matches are removed
  • remove_extra_spaces: Clean up extra spaces after removal

String Replace

Replaces text strings with new strings (replace/swap words etc.). Each line should contain a search and replace pair separated by the replacement_delimiter (default is double colon ::).

You can also remove strings with this node just leave the right side of the delimiter blank.
