Google Apps Script Replace and update cell within a range - arrays

Question

I have a Google spreadsheet that I'm trying to remove the word "woo" within a range of cells
So far I've managed to loop through the results and log the results, however I haven't figured how to update that information in the spreadsheet itself.
Any guidance would be welcomed
Thank you
function myFunction () {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('B:B')
var data = ss.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var text = data[i].toString();
var finaltext = text.replace(/woo/g, "");
data[i] = finaltext;
Logger.log(data[i]);
}
}

Answer 1

Use setValues()
Notes:
Usually ss is used as a shorthand for spreadsheet, as it's used on the code for a range it's better to use range as a variable name.
setValues() returns a 2D array, so data[i] returns an array of row values rather than a cell value. To get/set cell values, use data[i][0] notation.
Considering the above replace
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('B:B')
by
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('B:B')
then add the following line after the for block.
range.setValues(data);
Regarding text var declaration, replace
var text = data[i].toString();
to
var text = data[i][0].toString();
Using open ended references like B:B could lead to problems. To avoid them be sure to keep the sheet rows at minimum or better instead of using an open ended reference use something like B1:B10.
