How to type double \\?

Question

I am trying to type:

C:\\Users\\Reymi\\Downloads\\imagen.png

all in one line. The problem is that because of \\ it skips a line between each word.

\textbackslash makes \ but usually \verb|c:\Users\Reymi\Downloads\imagen.png| is easier or \verb|c:\\Users\\Reymi\\Downloads\\imagen.png| if you need \\ — David Carlisle, Jul 08 '17 at 17:20
@percusse: As it stands, the question is about the symbol, not setting a URL or other verbatim content. — Werner, Jul 08 '17 at 19:16
@Werner It explicitly says "I want to write this in single line". — percusse, Jul 08 '17 at 19:48
@percusse: It also explicitly asks "How to type double \\?" — Werner, Jul 08 '17 at 20:08

You can use the url package for this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}

\DeclareUrlCommand\file{%
    % Set monospace font
    \def\UrlFont{\ttfamily}%
    % Set characters to break after but not in between
    \def\UrlBigBreaks{\do\:\do\\}
}

\begin{document}

\file|C:\\Users\\Reymi\\Downloads\\imagen.png|

Here's some long sentence that shows that the path \file|C:\\Users\\Reymi\\Downloads\\imagen.png| is also broken across lines.

\end{document}

Output:
