stream in/out multiple layouts at once

Hi.
I have a zillion layouts designed using some wrong layers.
I know what are the layer to be changed, so I arranged a stream map file to:
1) export the layouts in gds2
2) re-import the gds2 files in Virtuoso with the right layer setup

Is there some way to export (stream out) and/or reimport (stream in) them "all in one go" instead of being forced to repeat this layout by layout a zillion time?

Thanks in advance

    thank you, it seems to work.

    the risk of losing pcells is not an issue in my case, since my layout consist just in metal layer arrays, however I am curious about your warning.
    If the "convert Pcell to geometry" button is not checked (options), should not the pcells be preserved?
