vArrayGenerateText
Generate an array of random text items, such as words, names, numbers, colors or lorem ipsum, from a seed.
vArrayGenerateText outputs an array of text strings. Generate Random picks the kind of text, Array length sets how many items are made, and Seed makes the result repeatable. Lorem ipsum mode builds text of a chosen length instead.

Read the full description
The node seeds a random generator with Seed and writes Array length items of the chosen kind. The kinds are None, Pick from the input array, Lorem ipsum, Bool, Character, Word, Letter, Vowel, several name types, Hash, three integer types, rgb, rgba, hsl and hsla values, ip, ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, Phone, Address, Street, String, Syllable and Shuffle. Color values are written as numbers separated by commas. Bool gives True or False, and Word is capitalized. Shuffle returns one item from a fixed list of letters and digits. None gives an empty array.
Pick from input array chooses a random item from the array connected to the Text socket, once for each output item.
Lorem ipsum, the default, ignores Array length and Seed and shows Select Mode with four count controls instead. Characters writes Character Count items with 1, 2, 3 and so on up to that many characters. Words, Sentences and Paragraphs do the same with Word Count, Sentence Count and Paragraph Count. Select Mode none, the default, gives an empty array.
Letter Case then changes every item to upper case or lower case, or leaves it unchanged. With the defaults the output is empty, so choose a Select Mode or another kind of text first.
