# Regex Patterns

{% hint style="warning" %}
Regex Patterns are very advanced. We suggest you do not use them unless you know what you are doing, small mistakes in a pattern could prevent any message from being send in your server.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Regex patterns can only be used in the [Custom Keyword](/infinitybot-docs/automatic-moderation/automod-dashboard-manager/custom-keywords.md) and [Member Profiles](/infinitybot-docs/automatic-moderation/automod-dashboard-manager/member-profiles.md) rules. 
{% endhint %}

A regex pattern is like a bunch of keywords all packed into one, to someone who does not know what they do, most regex patterns look like a cat walked over a keyboard. 

You can add regex patterns to your rule like normal keywords, as shown in the immage below:

### Generate Regex Patterns

For both the [Custom Keyword](/infinitybot-docs/automatic-moderation/automod-dashboard-manager/custom-keywords.md) and [Member Profiles](/infinitybot-docs/automatic-moderation/automod-dashboard-manager/member-profiles.md) rules we have created a regex generator. You can access it by pressing the "Generate a regex pattern" button below the keyword field.&#x20;

In the regex generator, you can either enter a word that you would like to block, or choose from regex templates. If you can't see some of the options, please make sure to scroll down on the window.&#x20;
