Default Wildcards in replace?

Is it possible to have a wildcard in the Replacement text field?
I have a situation where I want the same pop-up to appear on multiple, similar text occurences

eg abc-def-???-g where ??? could be a number of 3 character combinations.

I know I could just enter a new record for each of them, but there are rather a larger number.

Use a comma to seperate each occurence. In other words
replacement text: abc,efg,hij

Is that what youre after?

Not quite, but that also helps me with another question ... thanks

What I have is a situation where I need the same pop-up to appear on -
abc-def-123-g
abc-def-456-g
abc-def-987-g
etc

These are just examples but the numbers may be any of a large range of possabilities.

I could add all the possabilities as you suggested, but if there is a simplier way ...

Also, what would happen if (using the same examples) I have one display for abc-def-123-g and another display for 123?

Thanks for your help and a wonderful product.
