I’d do it from rails and skip the rake task. [Administrative Bulk Operations](https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrative-bulk-operations/118349) might offer some hints on how to do that.

@pfaffman ok thank you I will take a look.
Basically I already have a file with more than 500 url that I need to replace :
1. rake posts:remap[“old\_url1/”,“new\_url1”]
2. rake posts:remap[“old\_url2/”,“new\_url2”]
3. etc
I will try to find how I can do with rails. But it will be great if we have switch like --force or --yes to avoid confirm.
Than you for your help

Here’s what I’d do:
```
DbHelper.remap("old","new")
```
If you wanted to use the rake task you can try doing a `echo y| rake ...` or just edit the rake task in `./lib/tasks`

Glad that worked. The `DbHelper` needs to be run inside rails, not the shell.
