$('select).each(function() {
id=$(this).attr('id');
//number after '-', useless if you dont need number
number=id.substring(id.lastIndexOf('-')+1);
//new value that you want to put after '-'
newvalue='1234567';
changed=id.substring(0,lastIndexOf('-')+1)+newvalue;
}
or something like that (I didnt check that) :)
