You could use the .not function like the following examples to remove items that have an exact id, id containing a specific word, id starting with a word, etc... see http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ref_selectors.asp for more information on jQuery selectors.
Ignore by Exact ID:
$(".thisClass").not('[id="thisId"]').doAction();
Ignore ID's that contains the word "Id"
$(".thisClass").not('[id*="Id"]').doAction();
Ignore ID's that start with "my"
$(".thisClass").not('[id^="my"]').doAction();
