Jump to a specific place in a file?
If I cat a file
And want to go to the first instance of a particular value - what command would I use?
And then from that point where I jumped to search for another value - but only search from that point forward not before the file?
Thanks~

wsreg_query_get_instance
wsreg_query_set_instance(3WSREG) Product Install Registry Library Functions wsreg_query_set_instance(3WSREG)
NAME
wsreg_query_set_instance, wsreg_query_get_instance - set or get the instance of a query
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
#include <wsreg.h>
int wsreg_query_set_instance(Wsreg_query *query, int instance);
int wsreg_query_get_instance(Wsreg_query *comp);
DESCRIPTION
The wsreg_query_set_instance() function sets the instance number specified by instance in the query specified by query.
The wsreg_query_get_instance() function retrieves the instance from the query specified by query.
RETURN VALUES
The wsreg_query_set_instance() function returns a non-zero value if the instance was set correctly; otherwise 0 is returned.
The wsreg_query_get_instance() function returns the instance number from the specified query. It returns 0 if the instance number has not
been set.
USAGE
The query identifies fields used to search for a specific component in the product install registry. By specifying the instance, the com-
ponent search is narrowed to all components in the product install registry that have the specified instance.
Other fields can be specified in the same query to further narrow down the search.
