THIS IS MY SCRIPT .

C#

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;



#pragma warning disable 618
namespace UnityStandardAssets.utility
{
    public class SimpleActivatorMenu 
    {
        
        public Text camSwitchButton ;
        public GameObject[] objects;


        private int m_CurrentActiveObject;


        private void OnEnable(){
        
            // active object starts from first in array
            m_CurrentActiveObject = 0;
            camSwitchButton = objects[m_CurrentActiveObject].name;
        }


        public void NextCamera()
        {
            int nextactiveobject = m_CurrentActiveObject + 1 >= objects.Length ? 0 : m_CurrentActiveObject + 1;

            for (int i = 0; i < objects.Length; i++)
            {
                objects[i].SetActive(i == nextactiveobject);
            }

            m_CurrentActiveObject = nextactiveobject;
            camSwitchButton = objects[m_CurrentActiveObject].name;
             
             
        }
    }
}

Is this a third re-post of the same question?

Well it is almost the same. See my solution below.

Maybe if you actually consulted the documentation ... Unity - Scripting API: UI.Text.text[^]. Which clearly shows how to assign a string to a Text object.

You are trying to store a string value in a variable which can only hold instances of the Text class. The compiler is (correctly) telling you that you can't do that.

As we keep telling you, STOP guessing, and start reading the documentation or following a decent tutorial. Posting a new question here every time you try to shove the square peg in the round hole and fail is NOT a sensible way to learn how to write code.
