byte_test and buffer cursor

[Y M <snort () outlook com>]

Does a byte_test move the cursor into a buffer the number of bytes it tests? Does is depend on the buffer against which 
the byte_test is operating?


In essence, I am trying to use byte_test to validate that the decimal value of X number of bytes fall within a decimal 
range. Something similar to:


http_raw_header; byte_test:3,>,160,0,relative; byte_test:3,<,170,0,relative;


If the first byte_test above moves the cursor 3 bytes into the buffer, how can I reset the cursor back to the beginning 
of the buffer of the last/relative content match (http_raw_header)? Or am I just doing it all wrong?
