Not to be a nay-sayer here, but it is not possible to use any text or stream command on a file without first opening the the input file. The folks who gave you answers know this, and were smart to bypass this apparent requirement.
There is no way to get data out of a file without reading the data from disk. Period.

very true jim,
a closed file would remain unchanged, though the solutions provided apparently first opens the file and then only proceeds executing. i believe - opening a file - as the request means - physically opening it through any of the editor and modifying it - may be that one. And identifying the list of datablocks pertaining to an inode and modifying could be another way.
