Preprocessor adding new line

BJesty · 04-07-2009, 08:43 AM

Dear all,
does anyone know how I can make the c preprocessor to add a new line in the code? I would be great to have something like

#define foo bar XXXX

so that

print *, foo
print *, "something"

looks like

print *, bar

print *, "something"

That's critical because I have to use fortran with 77 characters per line!

All the best,

B

And why do you want to use "C" preprocessor and not a scripting language like Perl ?

I thought no one was using Fortran anymore...what is this language good at exactly?
