Can you give more detail of exactly what you need to update in the posts? The answer to your question may vary greatly depending on the exact update needed.

I need to update a custom field for every post that I have published.
Thanks

What I have done is create a custom Meta Box for the admin post page. The problem was when adding content to the field the textarea was not recognizing linebreaks. since then I have added a function add a <br /> after each line break.
In order to update every post I will need to do this manually one by one. So thats why i am asking if there would be a way to update all posts at once.
The bulk action option is not a solution for me. a new revision needs to be made for the post in order for it to reflect on the front end.
So if I understand, the text you need to update is in a custom field? If that is correct, you need to update the postmeta table meta_value for certain meta_key values. Correct?
If the update cannot be accomplished by a MySQL query, you will need to write a php module to do the updates. Is it easy to describe what your function does? Or if the function is short, just post it here?
