Default Replace with wildcards

How do I replace is a list of dates such as "1999" with sp1999 using the
wildcare "*"? When I use the wildcard "*" and try to replace * with sp* the
result is "sp*" instead of the desired "sp1999"

Excell finds 1999 ok using *, but the replacement doesn't work right.

Thanks,
