Can I copy and paste into the ubuntu terminal?

[hill0093]

I have a few lines of text code for the ubuntu
terminal screen in a Windows 7 file made with notepad.
It is on a USB flash drive inserted into my linux machine.
I tried selecting a line without EOL, pressing ctrl-c,
then ctrl-v at the command entry place in the ubuntu terminal.
It didn't work. Nothing happened. How do I copy and paste?

Go old school and use mouse right-click and there should be floating box containing ''paste'' option.

also:

Terminal Menu -> Edit -> Paste

or, the shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+V

Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

Ctrl+C in a terminal sends a SIGINT signal to the running process. You can use Ctrl+Shift+c / Ctrl+Shift+v to copy / paste. You can also highlight the text you want to paste and press the middle mouse button to paste it. You can also drag and drop files in the terminal window to get their full path.

uh, mouse not available?? Also, remember the line terminator between Windows/DOS and Linux is different. Depending on what you copy and paste this can result in some error messages.

Ctrl+Shift+V pastes into the terminal. (oops.. got beaten to that one )
