Summary: but how do you get rid of \n's in strings ?

Does anyone have a macro, or other way, to ignore a newline while in
a string (particularly an argument to [s,f]printf ? Something like :
#define swallow(!A!)

~
~
much code
~
~
				printf("I only want this swallow(!
					and not this !) to be in the string");

Any ideas short of my own pre-processor ? If it's insultingly simple, great!
