input multiple sets of keywords the same line

Does patterns have lists.Is it in a self script.I have not been able to figure out how to make a self script with notepad.And how to download it.

Is there anything else to put with this for it to work?Where do i type this in?

pattern("Is[an a] [cat dog horse] an animal?")

 Template("Yes it is.")

I imported this as a response list but it was not imported.The name of the notepad file was The list.

pattern("Is[an a] [cat dog horse] an animal?")

Template("Yes it is")
