Compile a list of pairs of words beginning
- one by pro , the other by con and sharing the same strings of letters as a second part of the word.
Examples:
Protest - contest, profess- confess, protractor-contractor, prostitution - constitution …etc
I have provided some examples, not to worry, there is a plentitude of qualifying pairs.

fid=fopen('c:\words\words.txt','r');
words= string.empty;
while ~feof(fid)
w=fgetl(fid);
if length(w)>3
if isequal(w(1:3),'pro') || isequal(w(1:3),'con')
words(end+1,:)=[string(w(4:end)), string(w)];
end
end
end
words=sortrows(words);
for i=2:length(words)
if words(i,1)==words(i-1,1)
fprintf('%-22s',words(i,2),words(i-1,2));
fprintf('\n');
