   I have an old blog site that is running movable type and I have upgraded to wordpress. the upgrade has gone really smooth and now I am in the process of matching old urls in the new system.

   However, all the permalinks have underscores instead of the dashes. Is there a global was to change all those quickly and easily?

   Thanks.

   you should probably use .htaccess for it. just read somewhere that search engines don't like underscores that much. sorry i can't be of more help, but if you search for .htaccess you should get loads if information...

   It can be easily done with one SQL query:

   UPDATE wp_posts
     SET
       guid =  REPLACE(guid, '_', '-'),
       post_name = REPLACE(post_name, '_', '-');
