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
