Default Find words and neighbors using wildcards


Hi everyone,

I've got a thesis riding on this, so any help would be REALL
appreciated!

I've got some experimental data in an Excel file with two columns: On
with words and one with numbers.

What I want to do is to save all the words for which their number is
100, AND for which there exists word* (ie: the original word with an
arbitrary letters following it) with a number < 50.

So for instance, if I have

abc 65
abcd 32
pqr 105
xyz 101
xyza 45
xyzbc 35


I would like an output (anywhere) which shows

xyz 101
xyza 45
xyzbc 35

Thank you so much for your help!
~Mary M
