EXOstrcture Operator Terminal Expert - Search and Replace error

[tiaportal]

Hi
Whenever i try and search and replace a tag (using wildcards) i keep seeing error message
"Replace item is incompatible with search item..."

The new tag exsits and i can manually enter on a screen object for example. It is the same data types as the search item. I have a poject where i have to update tagnames for all plant items as the prefix code has changed for all tagnames.
e.g.
PLC.D_111HXPUMP01 ---> PLC.D_112HXPUMP01

My search and replace fields are *111HXPUMP* and *112HXPUMP*

Do i really have to do this one by one manually??
