Edit -> Select Block... (Ctrl+E)

Hello Maël,
I'd like to request a little change in the 'Select block' window: the possibility to set 'End-offset' and 'Length' to be able to, well, select a block of fixed length in first instance.
Thank You for that awesome program and considering this request,
kind regards

Hello,
I don't understand what you mean. What's wrong with the way it works now? Please give an example.

I suppose you mean selecting backwards, i.e., set the start offset, then select x bytes before that.
This could be achieved by allowing negative numbers for Length.
Again, please give an example for the numbers of end-offset and length and what behavior you would expect.

Hello Maël,
sorry answering that late.. (been busy with examination last couple of month and totally forgot about this..)
yes, selecting backwards is what i want to do and negative numbers for length would accomplish exactly that
an example: microcode tinkering with AWARD BIOS
open BIOS.BIN
search: *ALIN16* -> Byte before first asterisk is end-offset
next 8 Byte give length of block (little endian)
so i have/know:
3. Length of block
2. End-offset==(offset_of_*ALIN16*)-1
press ctrl+e to select block
BUT have to calculate 1. required Start-offset by myself
see attached screenshot (might be better easier to understand then my kauderwelsh)
once again, kind regards
