Hello

I am building a macro using edit-kbd-macro.

******************************
C-x C-f			;; find-file
E			;; self-insert-command
TAB			;; c-indent-command
T			;; self-insert-command
2*TAB			;; c-indent-command
4			;; self-insert-command
TAB			;; c-indent-command
RET			;; newline
+9			;; self-insert-command
RET			;; newline
v			;; self-insert-command
C-x C-f			;; find-file
main.cpp		;; self-insert-command * 8
RET			;; newline


now, what that says is make a directory in this location and name it 9
now, how do I choose a name dynamically while the macro is running?

what I did

******************************
C-x C-f			;; find-file
E			;; self-insert-command
TAB			;; c-indent-command
T			;; self-insert-command
2*TAB			;; c-indent-command
4			;; self-insert-command
TAB			;; c-indent-command
RET			;; newline
+
C-x q			;; self-insert-command
RET			;; newline
v			;; self-insert-command
C-x C-f			;; find-file
main.cpp		;; self-insert-command * 8
RET			;; newline

but this puts 'E' at the end of the path and I feel it will not
work. any help is appreciated.

thanks
