From the reply chain....

Many thanks, Brooks.
I'll try your suggestion.
But if verbatim works then there ought to be a solution.
All the best,

Dear Brooks,

How can I use listings to print bash code and enable readers to correctly copy-paste the code from the PDF document?

For example this generates whitespace around slashes and dots:

\lstset{language=bash, basicstyle=\small, identifierstyle=\ttfamily, showstringspaces=false}
\begin{lstlisting}
modprobe rsrc_nonstatic # PCMCIA-related
modprobe i82092 # PCMCIA-related
modprobe yenta_socket # PCMCIA-related
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_hal.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_up.ko # or rtai_lxrt.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_fifos.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_sem.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_mbx.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_msg.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_netrpc.ko ThisNode="127.0.0.1"
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_shm.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_signal.ko
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_tasklets.ko
modprobe comedi
modprobe kcomedilib
modprobe comedi_fc
modprobe 8255 # acq. card hardware-specific
modprobe ni_mio_cs # acq. card hardware-specific
insmod /usr/realtime/modules/rtai_comedi.ko
/etc/init.d/pcmciautils restart # from pcmciautils package
# or pcmcia restart (kernel < 2.6.13)

\end{lstlisting}

Is verbatim the only solution?
Many thanks for your help,

Thomas Netter
