Re: Can an M4-program read data out of an C-program?

use fprintf, like this:

  FILE *f = fopen("themacros.m4", "w");
  for (i = 0; i < N; ++i)
     fprintf(f, "m4_define([NAME%d], [%s])\n", i, your_data_for_item_i);
  fclose(f);

  system("m4 themacros.m4  thetemplatecode.m4 >output.c");


But my advice would be that you should really ask for help with this, or learn some basics on programming. Otherwise you will run quickly into issues and this mailing list is not intended to help with programming C.
