Nobody can answer this without your target application.
AppleScript is a kind of conversation with other application (target).
So, you have to tell with some application (Keynote? Microsoft PowerPoint? Adobe InDesign?).
And...the target application must placed at your machine. We can not compile (check syntax and translate into AppleEvents code) AppleScript without target application binary.

I wrote an ebooks about Keynote, Pages and Numbers scripting. Text item manipulation is a very easy task for AppleScript.

"myCount" is not variable. "myCount" is a string data.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set myCount to 6801 + (count (folders of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW"))
make new folder at folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" with properties {name:"temp"}
tell application "Finder" to open "_NEW:OZ:temp"
set name of folder "temp" of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" to myCount
set myName to text returned of (display dialog "Name:" default answer "Name")
set myTime to (do shell script "date +\"%D\"")
make new folder at folder (myCount as string) of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" with properties {name:"temp2"}
set name of folder "temp2" of folder (myCount as string) of folder "OZ" of disk "_NEW" to myTime
end tell
It is a very easy task for AppleScript (+Cocoa).
use AppleScript version "2.4"
use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
set aFolder to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Select search target folder")
current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()'s selectFile:(missing value) inFileViewerRootedAtPath:aFolder
set aResCode to current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()'s showSearchResultsForQueryString:"ptw"
I wrote an ebook "AppleScript practical technics (1) GUI Scripting"(PDF 315pages).
This book include scripts to show each System Settings pane.

Off course, more easier books available. Basic technic books (1)...(29).

At first, execute other meaningless AppleScript to control other applications.
tell application "Microsoft Remote Desktop" to activate
tell me activate
Once, application control and authentication executed, your app is authenticated.
You can detect tcc status by using Objective-C program.
I built it as a Cocoa framework and call it from AppleScript application.

You can write and compile (check syntax) then...
tell application "Photos"
import input into album "Cartoon" skip check duplicates true
end tell
This code is converted to this style
tell application "Photos"
import input into album "Cartoon" with skip check duplicates
end tell
Hmm.. something wrong with my post...

AppleScript can renew DHCP. But it is not simple. I wrote such a script in 7 years ago and I just fixed now.

It is called "GUI Scripting" AppleScript.
AppleScript works by calling other application's function via internally.
GUI Scripting works by simulating users operation via externally.
https://piyomarusoft.booth.pm/items/4230018
This is whole GUI Scripting technic book written in Japanese.
But you can not press "a" and "w" keys in the same time by using GUI Scripting AppleScript.
