Cleanup script
Hi!
I would like to write a script which remove some files, all beginning with the same prefix :
prefix.1
doc/prefix.2
../prefix.3
etc.
So, I would create a file and chmod it executable. But I dont know how to pass a variable to a script. I would like to write something like
./cleanup_script prefix
so that the script is excuted knowing the value of prefix.
Thanks for your help,
Tp
