Something here or here might help you. For more options, search the site for "long underscore". – Scott H. Nov 11 '12 at 3:20
I think you should take a look here .... at the point \newcommand{\Qline}[1]{\noindent\rule{#1}{0.6pt}} – karathan Nov 11 '12 at 12:57

You can write it in a number of ways, but the easiest is probably \rule{<len>}{<width>} hello where you specify <len> and <width>. Typically, <width> is 0.4pt.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\rule{10em}{0.4pt} hello \par
\rule{50pt}{1pt} hello
\end{document}

In a more general setting, see Long underscore in LaTeX.
