1.Use starts-with function.

In your case XPath's ID attribute, ext-gen1 part remains same every time.

 //*[starts-with(@id,'ext-gen1')]

2.Look for other attributes which are not changing continuously for Ex. class, name, type, tabindex etc and use and function in between the XPath. 

//*[starts-with(@id,'ext-gen1') and contains(@name,'----')]
