EmAySee REALLY Unique String Selector

Let's get the elephant out of the room: the display name is "EmAySee REALLY Unique String Selector" and the class name is EmAySee_VeryUniqueStringSelectorNode, and neither is remotely true. What this node does is take two strings and pick one of them with a dropdown. That's it. It's the most ordinary node in the pack, wrapped in a joke of a name.

Which is not to say it's useless. It's a two-way string switch - the prompt-editing equivalent of an A/B toggle. You have:

• string_input_1 and string_input_2 - the two candidate strings (free text, defaults "Input String 1"/"Input String 2").
• select_input - a dropdown that literally lists the two input names, string_input_1 and string_input_2.
• SELECTED_STRING - the single STRING output, carrying whichever input the dropdown points at.

Mechanically it's an if/else: if the dropdown says string_input_1, output the first string; if it says the other, output the second. There's no dynamic anything, no third option, no fancy selection logic despite the name. Under the hood the class is even internally called EmAySee_StringSelectorNode - the "REALLY Unique" branding is a display-name-only artifact.

So where would you actually use it? String-switch patterns pop up in real workflows: swap between two prompt variants without deleting nodes, toggle a positive/negative phrasing, switch between two filenames, or pick between two date formats. It's the string version of a boolean toggle, and for that it works exactly as advertised. If you need more than two options, look at the pack's Dynamic String Selector or any of its random/probability selectors instead - this one is deliberately minimal.

One genuine quirk: the category is EmAySee_Utils, so it shows up in the Utils menu group, not under the pack's EmAySee/Text or string categories. If you go hunting for it after reading the README (which lists it under EmAySee_String), you'll look in the wrong place first.

How to install

Same pack, same install:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/EmAySee/ComfyUI_EmAySee_CustomNodes

Restart ComfyUI, or search ComfyUI_EmAySee_CustomNodes in ComfyUI Manager. Zero dependencies beyond ComfyUI itself - there's no requirements.txt and nothing to download.

Where people trip up

• The dropdown holds the input names, not their values. You select string_input_1, and the node outputs whatever text is currently in the string_input_1 field. If you change the text, the dropdown selection stays valid.
• The output name is loud. It's SELECTED_STRING in caps - just the RETURN_NAME, don't read anything into it.
• It's a fixed two-way switch. Expecting a "REALLY unique" selection mode will only lead to disappointment. Use it for exactly what it is: the simplest string switch in ComfyUI.

If you want to be slightly offended by a name and then save two nodes' worth of space in a workflow, this is your node. If you want anything more complex, move along - the joke is the whole product.
