You can write this text in a short verbatim environment.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\parindent0em

\begin{document}
  \verb|grep -i '^s.*m.*b.*' /usr/dict/words|
\end{document}

For more complex structures you may take a look at the listings package.


Best regards and welcome to the board
