Text replacement

I'm fairly new to the idea of scripting for After effects. I saw some scripts for text replacement from an external file. However, what I need to do is change the text in multiple text layers that are already created within a project. I was wondering what the easiest way to go about doing this. Thank you for your help.

Give this a try:
findReplaceFromFiles
From the header:
Given two text files as input, this script will replace the text layers
whose text source is contained in the first file with the corresponding
text written in the second file.
Example:
oldData.txt
Monday
Tuesday
8.30 PM
newData.txt
Friday
Sunday
11.00 PM
Thanks
