Narrative:

Crew was filed by dispatch release as; hou.vuh.lev.Q100.remis..boxkr.COSTR1.mco. The pre departure clearance clearance read 'VUH1 lev Q100 redfn-hou VUH1 lev Q100./.mco.' crew believed this cleared us direct from redfn to boxkr which brought us off the Q100 route. The pre departure clearance needs to match actual clearance to prevent this confusion.
