[comp.lang.c] non-identifier replacement by the preprocessor

bandari@datacube.cs.ubc.ca (Esfandiar Bandari) (09/02/89)

Is there a way to have the C preprocessor do substitutions for a 
non-identifier; for example if I wrote:

	#define <hi_there> 5

then the preprocessor would do the substitution.

Thanks in advace.
