You can't use regex, but you should be able to use startswith and endswith.

cj("input[id^='PRE_TEXT_'][id$='_POST_TEXT']").hide();

You can't use regex in jQuery selectors. Use the filter function:

cj("input").filter(function() {
    if (/^PRE_TEXT_(.*)_POST_TEXT$/.test(cj(this).prop("id"))) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}).hide();
