Please see whether this helps:

   \usepackage{fancyvrb}

   \begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\|\[\]]
   TEXT BEFORE
   LINE TO POINT TO|index[KEY]
   TEXT AFTER
   \end{Verbatim}

Note that here the default escape character \ is changed to | and the 
default argument delimiters  { and } are changed to [ and ] using 
"commandchars". You can use any other characters (including the default 
ones) for these as long as they don't appear in the verbatim text.
