Hi,
Its seems that you copied and paste the code from a pdf source. Sometimes it
happens that the character l is recognized as 1 so Plot was really P1ot
which is meaningless for mathematica.
Your email is quoted below, so you can easily observe this problem.
as for using patterns, you are cordially referred to the documentation
