Replace Off-page connector names using wild card

Frozen001

I made the stupid mistake of using a "-" in my offpage connectors, so not I can't create a netlist becase all of those nets are invalid names.  Is there a way to do a global replace of all the "-" with "_"?  I tried the global replace but that does not take wildcards.

    Not sure what version you are running but in 17.2 (and 16.6 I'm sure) the "-" is a supported character for an OrCAD/Allegro PCB netlist (well it works for me).
