You can replace all these occurances of _ in Stata using
the -filefilter- command, like so:

*--------------------- begin example -------------------
cd c:\temp
use http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear
clonevar race_clone = race
sjlog using desc_hsb2, replace
describe
sjlog close, replace

filefilter desc_hsb2.log.tex desc_hsb2_.log.tex, ///
    from("_") to("\BS_") replace
*---------------------- end example ---------------------

Hope this helps,
Maarten
