Multi-part checks with negative offset for second match #57

Closed NebularNerd closed 4 months ago

NebularNerd commented 6 months ago

I'm just going through some various files for some formats, in some cases I could increase the confidence as the file has both a solid position for a header, but also a solid position for a footer. Would it be possible to have the multi-part use a negative byte count to match from?

This would be handy as in one case I have a file that is clashing with another match at 0.8, adding the footer as an additional match should push past this to give a solid first match. I believe this would help with things like #37 .svg matching confidence as well.

Example entry for multi-part-headers:

"4352454D" : [
    ["444f4e4500000000", -8, ".ctm", "", "CreamTracker module"]         
]
