Quick way to update PanelView tags after SLC to CompactLogix conversion?

I am upgrade an older SLC500 and Panelview 550 to a new Compact Logix and Panelview plus 7. I have run the conversion tool on the PLC program. It looks like it recreates the Data tables into arrays. The old address structure is N19:0/8. The new structure is N19[0].8. I need to update the Panelview tags to match the PLC tags.

Does anyone have a quick way to do this? My current plan is to export the tags, use Notepad++ to do a find-and-replace, and then re-import them. Has anyone written a script or tool to automate this process? I am curious other people typically tackle this.
