Showing us an example of the rsync command you want to create would be
ideal.

In the absence of that, I'll just guess that you want to receive a list
of suffixes, such as:

.c
.h
,v

And generate a command like this:

rsync --accept="*.c" --accept="*.h" --accept="*,v"

Here's how I would do it:

#!/bin/bash

args=()
for arg; do
    args+=(--accept="*$arg")
done

args+=( other rsync arguments here )

rsync "${args[@]}"
