Generate new arrays, point sets, and objects.

+vTextCreateMultilineCreates a multi-line Fusion Text object The "Text" field supports entering multi-line text blocks that can include indentation, tabs, newlines, returns and other plain-text formatting variations. If you need to view this multi-line text based content downstream in the comp, try the vTextViewer node. This node is especially useful if you needed to create the original textual contents used for a shell script that you would save to disk using the vTextToFile node, and then run with a vTextProcessOpen node.
+vTextEnvCreates an environment variable based Fusion Text object This node will read an environment variable and return the result as a string. This is useful if you need to access a value like a SITE, SHOW, or SHOT env variable inside your composite. The "Text" field is used to enter the environment variable name like "PATH", "HOME", "USER", etc... If you need to troubleshoot the active environment variables on your Windows system using the Command Prompt you can type in "set". In the macOS/Linux terminal program you can type in "env \| sort" to see an alphabetically sorted list of the active environment variables.
+vTextFromCSVCreates a Fusion Text object by extracting a single cell from a CSV formatted block of text The "Row" control is used to define the CSV line number to read. The "Column" control is used to increment through each set of comma separated entries on a single line of CSV input data. The "Ignore Header Row" checkbox will offset the first index position to start at line 2 in the CSV file. This will skip over a labelled header row in the source document to avoid that information being accessed as part of the ingested data.
+vTextFromHexConverts a Base16 Hex encoded string to ASCII text The "Input" field is used to supply the block of HEX encoded content. The "Separator" text field allows you to enter a value like a space, a tab, a dash, a semicolon, or other character that is present between the Base16 encoded number groups. This user supplied separator information is then used to guide the decoding process. The "Remove Non-Printable Characters" control will automatically remove any ASCII characters that are control characters. In software like the macOS based BBEdit text editor, a non-printable character in a text file would be described as a "Gremlin" and this process would be called "Zapping Gremlins". A sample Hex string that says "Hello World!" is "48656C6C6F20576F726C6421".
