I have the following input elements:

<input id=AAA_RandomString_BBB type=text />

<input id=AAA_RandomString_BBB_Start type=text />

<input id=AAA_RandomString_BBB_End type=text />

AAA & BBB are constants and I will always know what they are. However RandomString will always be random.

I want to get the value of AAA_RandomString_BBB. I do not want the values from the input elements with ID ending in either _Start or _End.

I tried the folowing:

$('[id^=AAA_]')

But the above selects all of the input elements that have an ID starting with AAA_

I need some way to select using a regex type syntax like:

$('[id^=AAA_(.+?)_BBB]')

Is this possible? If not, can anyone suggest a method of selecting
