Hello, we just updated a bunch of the tags on our site and were wondering if it would be possible to batch tag a bunch of old topics that contain a certain keyword/url in the first post in a certain category through the console without updating the last edit time?

e.g. – Add a **soundcloud** tag to all topics in the **music** category if the first post contains a _[soundcloud.com](http://soundcloud.com)_ url, but without bumping all the last edit dates.

I’m not the most comfortable in the console, so any help would be great!  
Thanks!
