Default Using Replace with Wildcards AND Codes

I would like to use Replace to do things like replace the paragraph
character and the following single character.

E.g.
Replace:
^p?
With:
^p

-Or-

Replace:
??^t??
With:
^t

etc.

Any way to mix Wildcards with Codes?

No.

See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm. What you see there is
what you get, no exceptions.
