Default If contains

This is kinda hard to explain, but I'll do the best I can to try. I want a
formula that does the following...

I want to search column G, for data that is in column E. Anytime there's
data found in column G that is in column E, I want it to be replaced with the
information from column F. The trick is that there may be information before
or after the data from column G that's being looked up from column E. For
example, if in E2 I have X-129.9Y-135.94 and in G4 I have
G98G73X-129.9Y-135.94Z5.5R5.Q2.F50. and F2 has 129.9Y-135.94(E-25)...I want
to the part of the data in G4 that matches E2, with the data in F2.

I could simply do a find and replace, but there are hundreds in the file, so
it would take forever and I was wondering if there was a macro or a formula
that I could use instead.

Any help?
