You are right, my question was not posted correctly

My solution works only because text contents and text layer name are the same...

Thank you for claricifation. Does my code works now after suggested change?

If you additionally don't want the result to be put to clipboard, but to the variable, change:

sTT = stringIDToTypeID; (dsc = new ActionDescriptor())
.putString(sTT('textData'), cntnts.join(' '))
executeAction(sTT('textToClipboard'), dsc)

to:

cntnts = cntnts.join(' ')

If that works as expected (behind sense of the request) you may mark it as correct solution 😉

lS = activeDocument.layerSets.getByName('Text')tLs = [].slice.call(lS.artLayers), cntnts = []; while(tLs.length)cntnts.push(tLs.shift().textItem.contents); sTT = stringIDToTypeID;(dsc = new ActionDescriptor()).putString(sTT('textData'), cntnts.join(' '))executeAction(sTT('textToClipboard'), dsc)
