To post a comment and attach an existing file (already uploaded to Salesforce) to the comment, create a ConnectApi.CommentInput object to pass to postCommentToFeedElement(communityId, feedElementId, comment, feedElementFileUpload).
1String feedElementId = '0D5D0000000KtW3';

10messageBodyInput.messageSegments = new List<ConnectApi.MessageSegmentInput>();
11messageBodyInput.messageSegments.add(textSegmentInput);
12commentInput.body = messageBodyInput;
