General ⇒ Including source code file

[Onumis]

Hey

I'm doing a report for a work at univ.
I want to include the source code of various code files, namely from Flex and Yacc, which generates large files.

So I used the command:
\VerbatimInput[fontsize=\footnotesize,numbers=left]{parserYacc2.y}

but the result is terrible, as the text from this file goes beyond the margins

here's a link to an example:

verbatim.png (64.19 KiB) Viewed 2140 times

how can i resolve this issue?
A friend told me to just copy & paste all the code inside the latex file under a
\begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}
environment that he gave me, but that is ridiculous imo...

Thx for your time!

Hi,

you can use the \lstinputlisting to input stand alone files to your document; the listings package also offers automatic breaking of long lines. Refer to the package documentation for further details.

It works really good, thx a lot!

Funny how I use that package for small snippets of code though the document, but didnt thought of using it for file including...
