Er yes as it happens haha!. Thank you for your response even based on my limited info. I realised my error/errors so i tried to remove the post, turns out i have no idea how. Anyways i'm off topic i was trying to create a script to insert a caption which i know as you have shown is do-able my lack of knowledge means i have no idea how to rename the script or make one of my own that wont constantly give me an error telling me it cant call the function as i know because it doesn't exist. So i'm abit stuck, i have a reasonable understanding of what is doing what and why but simply fail out-right when it comes to writing one from scratch.

you must name the file the same as you put after the function call
i.e. if you put
function my_script_main(e)

you would need to call the file
my_script.lua
note the _ is needed in both cases as spaces are not allowed

also if you are planning on having multiple custom scripts you need to also include an function *name*_init(e) & end statement before the function *name*_main(e) call otherwise it will cause a stack error
