How to save input values from text box?

I searched here and saw a good example using customOptions.

 

 

Why does not my Photoshop recognize this string?

("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8")

 

How to find, get and validate these string so that it works perfectly?

I saw something here but it did not work in any key I generated.

uuidgen

 

Here is a small dialog box with two text boxes that I need to save the values whenever I need to open the window.

dlg = new Window("dialog", "new project", [0, 0, 255, 100], {resizeable: true});
text01 = dlg.add("edittext", {x: 26, y: 26, width: 48, height: 20}, "");
text02 = dlg.add("edittext", {x: 86, y: 26, width: 48, height: 20}, "");
var desc = app.getCustomOptions("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8");
text01.text = desc.getString(0); button = dlg.add("button", [162, 26, 232, 46], "Ok");

button.onClick = function() {
	var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); 
	desc.putString(0, text01.text); 
	app.putCustomOptions("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8", desc, true); 
}

dlg.center();
dlg.show();

Can anyone explain to me how this method works?

Correct answer r-bin
var desc = null; 
try { desc = app.getCustomOptions("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8"); } catch (e) {}; 
if (desc) text01.text = desc.getString(0);

    Thank you r-bi.

    It worked very well. Just a question. To add in other text boxes, do I have to have other individual character keys for each?

    In this way

    var desc = null;  
    try { desc = app.getCustomOptions("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8"); } catch (e) {};   
    if (desc) 
        {
        text01.text = desc.getString(0);   
        text02.text = desc.getString(1);   
        text03.text = desc.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("width"));   
        }
    ...................
    ...................  
      
            var desc = new ActionDescriptor();    
            desc.putString(0, text01.text);    
            desc.putString(1, text02.text);    
            desc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("width"), Number(text03.text));    
            app.putCustomOptions("77F66FF5-EFAD-49B7-AFE3-8A1403376CB8", desc, true);
