I'm not really sure what your question is mostly because you haven't done any research to understand the subject. Selenium is a framework for automating tests. http://seleniumhq.org/ and so "format" doesn't really make sense when discussing that.

There are two approaches when using Selenium
  1. Use Selenium IDE to capture browser activity to play back later
  2. Use Selenium Webdriver to program browser activity
Since you're talking about regression tests, not just a simple action, I'll assume you'll need to investigate the second. In order to use Webdriver you will need to know how to program. You don't have to be a great programmer, but you will need to be able to code in Java, Python, Ruby, C#, PHP, or Perl. The latter two are not as fully supported as the first four. Of those four, the first three I list are easier to get into as the development environments is usually freely available. C# requires Microsoft Developer Suite, which isn't usually free. If you want to know more about the use of Webdriver, please see http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html

As for format, which was your question, I don't know if you mean the programming language, or the coding standard you should use, or something else. Please elaborate more fully.
