    hi

    thanks for helping me but I am still struggling with this.

    I used the expression editor to set this up

    "word"..tableCellValue( game.TB Hoard Location ,1,2).."word"

    but I still get no spaces between the words and the cell value.

    Also if I want a bunch of words before the game.attribute, how is this set up?

    If i want
    The cell value is; game.attribute

    I don't get any spaces between the words or after the semicolon

    okay "word "..tableCellValue( game.TB Hoard Location ,1,2).." word"

    the spaces after 1st word and before last … inside your parentheses simply hold down the option key and click spaceBar
    same in the bunch of words: option+space

    @tshirtbooth

    Did you know you can simply hit: option+space_bar to generate a space, no need to generate an attribute and then reference it !

    The LUA engine is different now and this may no longer work.
