    Replacing a value with a cell name

    What i want to do is:

    I want to be able to replace the bolded and underlined areas of this javascript i have pasted in a cell with the value located in another cell. This means that those numbers would be replaced by a similar thing located in another cell. how can this be done? The way I would think you would do this by defining that say =b8 (an example of where the data could be coming from is ann excel formula, but not sure how to do this

    javascript:function%20end(){c='578|717';var%20d=document;if(window.frames.length>0)d=window.main.document;url=d.URL;if(url.indexOf('screen=place')==-1)alert('This%20script%20needs%20to%20be%20run%20from%20the%20rally%20point');a=c.match(/(\d+\|\d+)/g);b=a[Math.round(Math.random()*(a.length-1))].split("|");d.forms[0].x.value=b[0];d.forms[0].y.value=b[1];d.forms[0].spear.value=0;d.forms[0].sword.value=0;d.forms[0].axe.value=0;d.forms[0].spy.value=0;d.forms[0].light.value=0;d.forms[0].heavy.value=0;d.forms[0].ram.value=1;d.forms[0].catapult.value=0;d.forms[0].snob.value=0;d.forms[0].archer.value=0;d.forms[0].marcher.value=0;d.forms[0].knight.value=0;}end();

    Hehe...looks like we're editing a character/game file to give ourselves more health/gold...something like that, hehe?

    Anyway, if that text string is in A8, and the replacement text string is in B8, then this formula will substitute the two 3-digit strings and the separator with whatever string you have in B1:

    =LEFT(A8, 31) & B8 & RIGHT(A8, LEN(A8) - 38)

    Thank you so much. How do I get it to also alter the 0 later on in the code?

    It is for a game but it is legal.They allow certain scripts

    Re: Replacing a value with a cell name

    Nevermind. Got it figuered out. THanks so much. THanks heaps. +1

    EDIT: Just realised. How do I put them both in the same formula?

    My formulas:

    =LEFT(Info!A38, 31) & A6 & RIGHT(Info!A38, LEN(Info!A38) - 38)
    and
    =LEFT(Info!A38, 400) & U6 & RIGHT(Info!A38, LEN(Info!A38) - 400)

    Re: Replacing a value with a cell name

    If you know the exact values, this would work, a little simpler, actually:

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Info!A8, ".light.value=0", ".light.value=" & U6), "{c='578|717", "{c='" & A6)

    If that takes care of your need, be sure to EDIT your original post, click Go Advanced and mark the PREFIX box [SOLVED].
