Macros are called like functions. If it's named str then: (str args...)

Macros are also defined with defmacro, and if you don't remember how
they're called, that probably means that you don't know what you're
speaking about.  So I assume you didn't write a macro, but a function
or a command.

A function is defined with defun.
A command is defined with defun and begins with (interactive ...)

If you have defined a command named str, then you can invoke it 
with M-x str RET

If you have defined a function named str, then you can call it either
with:  M-: (str args...) RET
or writting the expression (str args...) in a buffer, and typing C-x C-e
