**To modify the settings for an existing regex pattern set**
The following ``update-regex-pattern-set`` updates the settings for the specified regex pattern set. This call requires an ID, which you can obtain from the call, ``list-regex-pattern-sets``, and a lock token which you can obtain from the calls, ``list-regex-pattern-sets`` and ``get-regex-pattern-set``. This call also returns a lock token that you can use for a subsequent update. ::
aws wafv2 update-regex-pattern-set \
--name ExampleRegex \
--scope REGIONAL \
--id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111 \
--regular-expression-list RegexString="^.+$" \
--lock-token ed207e9c-82e9-4a77-aadd-81e6173ab7eb
Output::
{
