How to find an id with specific string using jQuery?

How to find an id with specific string using jQuery?, someone asked me to explain?

You can find the id contains with specific string using indexOf method in jQuery. Here I want to change the css class for specific id. It was checked by using ”if” statement as shown below.

if (this.id.indexOf('comment') == -1) {

                $(this).parent().find(".custom-plus").removeClass("custom-plus").addClass("custom-minus");

            }

<style type="text/css">

.custom-plus {

            background-image: url(Content/themes/base/images/openclose.png);

        background-repeat: no-repeat;

        padding-top: 6px;

        padding-left: 29px;

            background-position: 0px -58px;

    }

 

    .custom-minus {

        background-image: url(Content/themes/base/images/openclose.png);

        background-repeat: no-repeat;

        padding-top: 6px;

        padding-left: 29px;

            background-position: 0px 0px;

    }

</style>

 

It is necessary to find the id if it is so I need to change otherwise it will css class is applying unnecessarily. Here i applyed for expandcollapse button.

Output:

 find an id with specific string using jQuery
