Command line arguments with make.

[bupeking2000]

I have to input a file name on the command line for the make and I do not understand how to do this. I've tried looking it up but got confused with something like.
make arugment abd="abc"
$(abc)
I am really confused and would greatly appreciate some help thank you.

MAKE COMMAND : make postfix
FILE : data3-1.txt

Now I was told how to change the make file to put the file in it but I do not want to.
