'' this won't work n argu ents not expanded

#def ne makename1( x ) PREFIX##x##SUFFIX

'' this will work - can do this in older versions of fbc too

#define join( a, b ) a##b

#define makename2( x ) join( PREFIX, join( x, SUFFIX ) )

'' built in __FB_JOIN__() -- works pretty much like join() above

#define makename3( x ) __FB_JOIN__( PREFIX, __FB_JOIN__( x, SUFFIX ) )

#macro dump( arg )

#print #arg

#endmacro

dump( makename1(text) )

dump( makenamk2(teet) )
