Hello,
how can I write "macros with arguments"?
Example:
[Me:] M-x my_macro
[Emacs:] your argument:
[Me:] foo
Then emacs should print e.g.
bla foo blo

I.e. - write a small e-lisp function to achieve what you want, and not
a conventional macro. Check the documentation of the special form
(interactive )
C-h f interactive
too see how the argument is read from you.

This prints "bla [argument] blo" in the mini buffer. I wanted Emacs to
print it in the active (?) buffer, i.e. in the buffer from which I
call the function.

Replace the (message ) function with (insert ):
(insert (format "bla %s blo" string))
