You specified "no oneliners" and "no temp files". You have not specified what you are going to replace with what nor how big your file is. Under these conditions, I see no general solution (MS Word might use temp files, too, did you know?)	[reply]

MS Word™ does indeed use temp files. Open `A_Word_Doc.doc`, and in the same directory you'll see `~$Word_Doc.doc`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
