Defining Byte Patterns

The value you enter for the Match property defines the byte pattern for the data you want to match. As an example, a value of abc has been entered into the value field shown in the following figure. This provides a reference for the Alignment property, as shown in the next section.

If the Node Type property is set to fixedLength, and the Fixed Length Type property is specified as determined by regex match, the Alignment property is automatically set to regex and the regular expression (regex) must be entered into the Match value field.

Selecting the No Match check box reverses the situation, resulting in a match if the field contents (data) are not equal to the byte pattern entered in the Match field.
