After spending a couple of minutes trying to figure out how to do it completely automatically and coming up short, I decided to do it semi-automatically. It took about 10 minutes to restore the notes of about 200 articles/books.

I opened all the .annot files at the same time in Programmer's Notepad(do 'open' and then go to the folder where you have all the .annot files and select them all. Earlier I had created a new folder with just the .annot files in it). Then it takes 10 - 20 seconds before Programmer's Notepad has opened all the about 200 files at the same time, in windows behind one another so that if you click one away you see the next one.

I then started with the first file, did 'find and replace' using the line you mentioned, then I closed the file, at which point the program asks whether I want to save the changes, I clicked okay, the file saves and closes closes and then the next file is automatically in front of me, and I do the same thing, until I've gone through all the files. Takes about 3 seconds per file.
