How it can done using python?

Answer 1

If your words are unicode strings, collected in a list words , then the following snippet shows you all words beginning with "x"

for word in words:
    if word.startswith(u"x"):
         print word

Or if you want to get a list of all words starting with u"x" , you can use list comprehension:

selected_words = [ w for w in words if w.startswith(u"x") ]
