<script type='text/javascript'>

function saveTextAsFile()
{
    var el;
    var prefix = 'textBox';
    for(var i = 0; el = document.getElementById(prefix + i); i++){
        if (el != ""){
            var textToWrite = document.getElementById("el").value;
            var textFileAsBlob = new Blob([textToWrite], {type:'text/plain'});
            var fileNameToSaveAs = document.getElementById("inputFileNameToSaveAs").value;
        }
    }

    var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
    downloadLink.download = fileNameToSaveAs;
    downloadLink.innerHTML = "Download File";
    if (window.webkitURL != null)
    {

        downloadLink.href = window.webkitURL.createObjectURL(textFileAsBlob);
    }
    else
    {

        downloadLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(textFileAsBlob);
        downloadLink.onclick = destroyClickedElement;
        downloadLink.style.display = "none";
        document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
    }

    downloadLink.click();
}

function destroyClickedElement(event)
{
    document.body.removeChild(event.target);
}

function loadFileAsText()
{
    var fileToLoad = document.getElementById("fileToLoad").files[0];

    var fileReader = new FileReader();
    fileReader.onload = function(fileLoadedEvent) 
    {
        var textFromFileLoaded = fileLoadedEvent.target.result;
        document.getElementById("inputTextToSave").value = textFromFileLoaded;
    };
    fileReader.readAsText(fileToLoad, "UTF-8");
}

You can select all the elements as document.querySelectorAll('[id^=textbox]')

Iterate it over the NodeList that the above query returns.

Code

var textBoxes = document.querySelectorAll('[id^=textbox]');
var textToWrite;
for(var i in textBoxes){
   textToWrite = textBoxes[i].value;
   /* do your thing */
}
