Bulk hierarchy path editing of 50 deepprobes, is it possible at all within Virtuoso?

rod1

I got 70 deepprobes with paths like "path.to.block1.nodeN", where N=1,...70.

Now, I need to copy the same deepprobes and change all their paths to "path.to.block2.nodeN", where block2 is simply another instance of the cell instantiated by block1 as well, all nodes are equal.
 

Is there a way to do this without changing each deepprobe's path one by one? If somehow Virtuoso allowed VIM-style editing, this could be done in 5 seconds.
