Text Line Selector 📋

Text Line Selector turns a big multiline block into a paginated list, which sounds dull until you realize it's the node that makes "one prompt per line" workflows actually usable. Paste a hundred lines of prompts, seeds, or LoRA names into prompt, and this node hands you back the lines you asked for as a list - the exact shape many samplers and batch nodes want.

The default behavior is a simple window: start_index skips the first N lines, max_rows caps how many you get. If you have 1000 lines and want to process them in pages of 100, set max_rows to 100 and bump start_index as you go. But the real power is range_str, a tiny query language that takes priority whenever you fill it in:

• 0-2 → lines 0, 1, 2
• 4--1 → lines 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (descending)
• 1,4 → just lines 1 and 4
• -1 → the last line; 2--1 → line 2 through the end

Negatives count from the end, exactly like Python slices. It's a compact way to cherry-pick from a prompt library or a LoRA list without writing a script.

What comes out. Six outputs. STRING is the selected lines as a list; indexed is the same lines with their original index prefixed (12: line text), which is gold for knowing which line a result came from; input_count and output_count are the totals; and FLOAT / INT are numeric conversions of each line, defaulting to 1.0 / 1 when a line isn't a number. That numeric pair is the sneaky useful part - feed it a list of LoRA strengths or CFG values, and you get typed numbers out without a conversion step.

Inputs and outputs. Required: prompt (multiline), start_index, max_rows, range_str. Non-empty lines only - blank lines are dropped before counting, so input_count counts content, not blank padding.

Where people trip. The range grammar is easy to misread: 4--1 is "four to minus one," not a typo - the double dash is range syntax with a negative end. And remember range_str silently overrides start_index/max_rows whenever it's non-empty, so if your carefully set window is being ignored, you left something in that box. For batch prompt work it's a genuine time-saver; for everything else it's a nice pagination helper.
