Shell Script to Search Words in between Letters

In our example below.. It will display all the words that starts with letter "B" and ends with letter "D".

linux command:

wget -nv -O - "http://www.morewords.com/?=b*d" | awk '/word/' | awk '/class/' | awk 'sub(".........$", "")' | cut -b 1-31 --complement | rev | cut -d/ -f2- | rev

babyhood
baccated

Happy Scripting!
