find replace field names using empty string in replace field

i have a universe which i generated from a Sap query.

there are a ton of fields with a name that has, for eg, "L01 " in front of it.

i want to rename all those fields by removing those for characters and replace them with null/nothing.

eg change “L01 equipment key” TO “equipment key”

but the replace field in the Find/Replace popup does not allow and empty field. any ideas about how to do this?

What version of Designer are you using? You might be able to redo this by resetting options for default names, but I’ve only seen that in 3.1.
