need help regarding my very simple bash script

I'm still very newbie in bash programming...
I made this script to delete something like 'typescript' that cluttering in my home dir and its sub-dirs.
here's the script

Code:

#!/bin/bash



if [ "$0" = "./$1" ] || [ "$#" -ne 1 ] 

then

    echo " usage: $0 [namafile] "

else 

    for x in $(find ./ -follow -name "$1")

    do

        rm -v $x

    done

fi

But i want to make this script 'smarter'.
Currently it can only accept argument with literal pattern.
eg:

Code:

$./myrmscript typescript

It can't accept wildcard. How to make my script accept wildcard,
so i can use this to delete files like foo1,foo2,fooyou.
just by typing

Code:

$./myrmscript foo*

tnx in advance.

you can use $@. This will expand out your arguments passed in from shell

Code:

for args in $@

...

...

Try

Code:

$./myrmscript foo\*

If neccesary, add more backslashes to taste ;-)
