In your opinion I am being condescending IMO you did not read the forum guideline and provide pertinent information.
I'm done trying to help you.
The thing is to script something you need to know what you want to do that require knowledge of things like color, font, size, document size and text location etc. Scripting is not magic
It is easy to add text layer it also possible to changes existing text layers but that layer's name need to be known and needs to be in your document. Here is an old script of mine that time stamped the bottom left of a document. I modified it to not include the time just to stamp the date.

if (!documents.length) {alert('There are no documents open.', 'No Document');} // ensure at least one document open
