This should work.




xCopies = 10;
yCopies =5 ;

textA="text a ";
textB="text b ";
textBlock="";

for (y=0; y < yCopies; y++){

for (x=0; x < xCopies; x++){
textBlock = textBlock+ textA+textB;
}

textBlock=textBlock +"\r";

}


textBlock;

I am having the darnedest time trying to figure out how to make a line
of text repeat and offset, without converting the text to shape layers
and using Repeater, so that I can make that text a "grid" if you will.
So:

"Text A Text B"

becomes

"Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B
Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B Text A Text B"

on an X/Y grid. It needs to be procedural.
