Alphanumeric Scale
What It Does
The Alphanumeric Scale node generates combined letter-number identifiers (like A1, B2, C3) based on provided indices. It's useful for creating hierarchical naming systems with both alphabetic and numeric components.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Letter Index | Letter index (0 = A, 1 = B, etc.) | Number | Yes |
| Number Index | Number index (0 = 1, 1 = 2, etc.) | Number | Yes |
| Uppercase | Output letter in uppercase (true) or lowercase (false) | Boolean | No |
| Prefix | Optional text to add before the alphanumeric value | String | No |
| Suffix | Optional text to add after the alphanumeric value | String | No |
Outputs
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Value | The generated alphanumeric value with optional prefix and suffix | String |
How to Use It
- Drag the Alphanumeric Scale node into your graph.
- Connect numbers to the "Letter Index" (for e.g., 0 for A) and "Number Index" inputs (for e.g., 0 for 1), or set them directly.
- Configure optional inputs like case preference and prefix/suffix text.
- The node will output a combined letter-number identifier (like "A1", "b2", etc.).
Tips
- Letter indices are clamped to the English alphabet range (0-25).
- Number indices automatically have 1 added (so index 0 produces "1").
- Combine with Count nodes to generate sequential alphanumeric identifiers.
