    You need to omit the ##: adjacent string literals get concatenated automatically, so this macro is going to concatenate the strings the way you want:

    #define CONCAT(string) "start"string"end"
    

    For two strings:

    #define CONCAT(a, b) (a"" b)
    

    Here is a link to a demo on ideone.
