defining a string from a string macro

[FlashAsh99]

Suppose I have something like...

#define FIRSTSTRING "my string 1"
...

char[] secondString = L"my string 2"
char[] firstString = ???


Where there is ???, What do I put here to set firstString to the value of FIRSTRING macro, similar to how secondString is set.

Something like...

#define FIRSTSTRING "my string 1"

char  firstString[] = FIRSTSTRING;

char[] secondString = L"my string 2"

The char should be wchar_t if you want UNICODE, and that's not where the brackets go.

Ok I have tried something this...

#define FIRSTSTRING "my string 1"

....

wchar_t myString[] = L""FIRSTRING;

and I get the error message concatenating mismatched strings
Concatenating wide "" with narrow "my string 1".


How to I get myString to be a wide string from the macro?

Why do you have "" between the L and the macro?
That would expand to:

wchar_t myString[] = L"""my string 1";

which makes no sense.
