Script for text layer content replace w/ user input dialog

i've been messing around building out script allow users replace content in text layer.

unfortunately, content going different, formatted differently, , not placed in sort of xl or csv file.

 

i'd able run script select appropriate named text layers , prompt user input various values.  script i've been able find along lines on ps-scripts site here:

prompt user textual input - script

 

anyone come or across falls within interaction parameters?

 

 

thanks!

something this? ...
