Thank you Richard!

To clarify, by: [Replace a string in all posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/replace-a-string-in-all-posts/48729)

Using

```plaintext
rake posts:remap["find","replace","string",true]

```

do

```ruby
rake posts:remap[
  "https://cdck-file-uploads-europe1.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/standard21/uploads/everviz/",
  "/uploads/default/"
]

```

The alternative replacer to relative would be `“[https://forum.everviz.com/uploads/default/](https://forum.everviz.com/uploads/default/)”

Is the relative link what you’re thinking of?

e: correction of relative url with /

Oneliner:

```ruby
rake posts:remap["https://cdck-file-uploads-europe1.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/standard21/uploads/everviz/", "/uploads/default/"]

```
