Try to use attribute ends with selector,

$('[id$="__abc"]')

If you want to make it more specific such as start with account_ and end with __abc then you can use:

$('[id^="account_"][id$="__abc"]')

There are various selectors in jQuery to identify elements based on a part of their id or names. You can specify the element type as well.

Here's an example:

$('input[id$="__abc"]')

This will grab <input> elements with id ending with __abc. Be careful though, if you got multiple ones that match this criteria, you'll end up with a collection. You can iterate through the collection and do stuff to them with a .each() like so:

$('input[id$="__abc"]').each(function(){
    // magic
});
