Applescript to open webpages from list, search for "text"

posted this first in the shell area, realized it was wrong area for this, forgive me

hi guys, its me, doritos guy, I've laid off of the doritos for a while, twas given me stomach problems. you know when you eat 10 family size bags a day it might cause a problem, any-who

i appreciated the help from last time when i was trying to script something, now i just have to try to understand some hebrew lettering and sounds for phase 2 of that project.

i know it would be a combination of these two other discussions

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6489693 (i got this one to work for me)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3122504

basically something like this

Open webpages one at a time from list in txt file
when webpage is loaded, then search for "text"
if "text" is not found
then
close tab, open next URL in list
if "text" is found
then
copy URL to a text file or alert somehow.
once url is copied and saved
then
close tab, open next url in list
repeat

this is what i pieced together from these links

Code:

on run {input, parameters}  
     read (item 1 of input)  
     set ps to paragraphs of the result  
     set tot to count ps  
     tell application "Safari"  
          reopen  
          activate  
     end tell  
     repeat with i from 1 to tot  
          set p to item i of ps  
          if p is not "" then  
               try  
                    tell application "Safari"  
                         tell front window  
                              set r to make new tab with properties {URL:p}  
                              set current tab to r  
                              delay 1  
                              if i = tot then exit repeat  
                              repeat  
                                   delay 1  

if text in webpage contains "search text" then
                              copy URL to text file
                    end if
if text in webpage does not contain "search text" then
close tab





                                   get URL of r  
                              end repeat  
                         end tell  
                    end tell  
             end try  
          end if  
     end repeat  
end run

open

OPEN(1) 							     Linux 1.x								   OPEN(1)

NAME

       open - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).

SYNOPSIS

       open [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options

DESCRIPTION

       open will find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error are
       directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified then the envi-
       ronment variable $SHELL is used.

   OPTIONS
       -c vtnumber
	      Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.

       -s     Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.

       -u     Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user.  Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.

       -l     Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.

       -v     Be a bit more verbose.

       -w     wait for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then open will switch back to the controlling terminal when the command
	      completes.

       --     end of options to open.

NOTE

       If open is compiled with a POSIX (Gnu) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then  you	must  supply  the  end	of
       options -- flag before the command.

EXAMPLES

       open can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:

       open bash

       To start the shell as a login shell, use:

       open -l bash

       To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:

       open -- ls -l
