Text Formatting ⇒ Insert file name "nK_Gr9.5e4_ABBDI3_1" in Latex

[felipoc]

Hi folks,

I would like to insert the file name "nK_Gr9.5e4_ABBDI3_1" in latex, so that it is reproduced exactly. I get Error-Messages if I write it like this in TexnicCenter and i don´t want it as math-mode.

Can Anybody help me ?

Thank you very much, Philipp

Hi,
use a verbatim environment or command:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\verb$nK_Gr9.5e4_ABBDI3_1$
\end{document}

Thank you phi,

Is there a possibility that the name appears in the same font as the rest of the text ?

Hi Philipp,

you could use \_ for the underscore symbol:

Code: Select all

nK\_Gr9.5e4\_ABBDI3\_1

Thank you Stefan,

that´s exactly what I was looking for.

Code: Select all

\detokenize{....}

This is technically different than the verbatim solution, but should be acceptable in this case.

Hi phi,

just two remarks, I think \detokenize requires eTeX, but that would probably be used. With OT1 encoding the result might not be as expected, but with T1 encoding (and eTeX) \detokenize should work well with this example, so it's a good recommendation, that macro can also be useful to solve more problems (toc etc.).
