[avr-gcc-list] Strings: escape sequence to insert arbitrary hex value ?

[Vincent Trouilliez]

Hello,

All on-line tutorials on C just do'nt seem to cover all these practical
little things I need... these tutorials aren't much help for
 day to day issues with microcontroller programming I find :-/

Problem: in the strings I define, some of the characters are custom
defined (ASCII codes 0 to 7 in a text LCD module).

I have some defines like such:

#define LCD_CUSTOM_CHAR_FOO <any value from 0 to 7 and 0x80 and up>

char example[] = "Example String";

Now I need to insert the define "LCD_CUSTOM_CHAR_FOO" somewhere in
the string, and have the compiler replace it with the hex code it
stands for... how to instruct the compiler to do so ?!

TIA


Regards,
