I need to create a c string that is 1100 bytes long, with a whole lot of blanks in the middle, for a boundary test.

Is there a way, in C, to define this string at compile time vs generating what I need at runtime?

I’m looking for something like a duplication factor for the 1098 blanks in between my start character and end character.

Perhaps a macro?

And no, I do not care to type, for example, 50 blanks and then concatenation them via copy/paste.

Thanks.
