#2

some clarifications:
i want insert the text in the application TextWrangler

#3

Here’s one way:

tell application "TextWrangler"
	
	(* code for getting new blank document goes here *)
	
	set text of myDocument to "Now we are engaged in a great civil war."
	--> document reads "Now we are engaged in a great civil war."
	set insertionString to " bloody"
	set after word 6 of text of myDocument to insertionString
	--> document reads "Now we are engaged in a bloody great civil war."

end tell
#4

my solution is :


tell application "TextWrangler"
	tell window 1
		set selection to "<head></head>"	
	end tell
end tell

and work well, but
how i can move insertion point after the first closing tag?

this work well in TextWrangler:


tell application "TextWrangler"
	tell window 1
		set selection to "<title> </title>"
		select insertion point after character 7 of selection
	end tell
end tell

I suspect this is what you really want:

This will add your tag around the selected text (if there is any, if not, it will just put in the open and closing tags and place the cursor between the tags waiting for your to enter something).
