# Class DittedBitSequence

java.lang.Object
ghidra.util.bytesearch.DittedBitSequence

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `Pattern`

public class DittedBitSequence extends Object
A pattern of bits/mask to match to a stream of bytes. The bits/mask can be of any length. The sequence can be initialized by: a string an array of bytes (no mask) an array of bytes and for mask The dits represent bits(binary) or nibbles(hex) that are don't care, for example: 0x..d.4de2 ....0000 .1...... 00101101 11101001 where 0x starts a hex number and '.' is a don't care nibble (hex) or bit (binary)

    public DittedBitSequence()

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(String dittedBitData)
    Constructor from a ditted-bit-sequence string where white space is ignored (e.g., "10..11.0");
    Parameters:
      `dittedBitData` - ditted sequence specified as a string
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if invalid dittedBitData specified

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(String dittedBitData, boolean hex)
    Constructor from a ditted-bit string where white space is ignored. If there are no dits, `hex` is true, and `hex` does not begin with {code 0x}, `0x` will be prepended to the string before constructing the `DittedBitSequence`.
    Parameters:
      `dittedBitData` - string of bits and dits or hex numbers and dits (e.g., 0.1..0, 0xAB..)
      `hex` - true to force hex on the sequence

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(DittedBitSequence op2)
    Copy contructor
    Parameters:
      `op2` - is bit sequence being copied

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(byte[] bytes)
    Construct a sequence of bytes to search for. No bits are masked off.
    Parameters:
      `bytes` - byte values that must match

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(byte[] bytes, byte[] mask)
    Construct a bit pattern to search for consisting of 0 bits, 1 bits, and don't care bits
    Parameters:
      `bytes` - is an array of bytes indicating the 0 and 1 bits that are cared about
      `mask` - is an array of bytes masking off the bits that should be cared about, a 0 indicates a "don't care"

  - ### DittedBitSequence

    public DittedBitSequence(DittedBitSequence s1, DittedBitSequence s2)

- ## Method Details

    public byte[] getValueBytes()
    Returns:

  - ### getMaskBytes

    public byte[] getMaskBytes()
    Returns:
