edit signal names in HDL following a group copy

How can I edit one digit of a group of signal names after I copy a schematic group without having to change these individually?  It has been some time but I recall using a text editor to do this quickly. I tried the "copy all" which did copy the signal names. Great!  But then the Tools>Global Update>Global Property Change... did not work as I expected.  I tried using a wild card (*) to retain most of the net name but the tool replaced the net name with the wild card.

    While you'll need to do this page-by-page, try this:

    Use the group command to include the signals you want to change. In the console window, type change A (where A is the group letter). The enter CTRL-E. A text editor should appear and you can find/replace the needed characters.
