I believe you are looking to select columns based on regular expression.

Well below works:

  set hive.support.quoted.identifiers=none;
  select `patt.*` from test_table;

Above code will return columns pattern1 pattern2 among your mentioned columns "pattern1 pattern2 motif3 balab1 balabal2 ma1 ma2 ma3"
