Airport Codes (Posted on 2023-11-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You will be given a list of 9 words and your job is to search each word and find the airport codes hidden in each word. For some airport codes, a business name or person may be used in place of a word when one does not exist. For example, Concord corresponds to ORD, or Chicago O'Hare international Airport.

What immediately stand out are LAX (Los Angeles International) in "relax", SFO (San Francisco) in "sforzando", and LGA (La Guardia) in "algae".

For the rest:

words=["relax","mlivenewsmichigan","diarrhea","atlas", ...
  "tulsigabbard","mspy","sforzando","santa","algae"];
for i=1:length(words)
  word=words(i)
  fid=fopen("c:\VB5 Projects\flooble\airport codes.txt","r");
  while ~feof(fid)
    l=fgetl(fid);
    idx=strfind(l,'(');
    if ~isempty(idx)
      code=lower(l(idx+1:idx+3));
      idx=strfind(word,code);
      if ~isempty(idx)
        disp(l)
      end
    end
  end
  close('all')
  disp(' ')
end
