Wrapping a word in LaTeX

How can you wrap the word longWord_anotherLongWord_long_again to many lines in the tabular environment?

The word should be

LongWord_
anotherLongWord_
long_again
Solution 
  • \bgroup
  \catcode`\_=13%
  \def_{\textunderscore\hskip0pt}%
  \begin{tabular}{|l|l|p{4.5cm}}
    test_444 & 555 & longWord_anotherLongWord_long_again_too_long_very_long_ha_ha_ha_ha\\\hline
  \end{tabular}
\egroup

    Be careful though; this will produce the desired result, but TeX will complain about underfull boxes.
