[...] Hello Hans and Taco, thank you for your hints, but I think, I did not explain my question well enough... I fact, all I need is to know, how I could write some verbatim text between 2 commands (\startXXX...\stopXXX) into a file, but with my own macros. Here an example in detail: \newcount\LSTnum \newwrite\LSTfile \def\LSTfileprefix{\jobname-LST\LSTnum} \def\startLST[#1]#2\stopLST{% \immediate\openout\LSTfile=\LSTfileprefix.tmp \immediate\write\LSTfile{#2}% Here I seek a solution for verbatim text! \immediate\closeout\LSTfile \immediate\write18{createListing.sh \LSTfileprefix #1}% #1 is for \lstset \externalfigure[\LSTfileprefix] \advance\LSTnum by 1 } and then, the user types only: \startLST[language=C] main() { return 0; } \stopLST It's already possible to do this with some further macros (\finishLST after \stopLST for example), but I prefer only one \start/\stop pair.
