I want to copy some code from a web page and then paste it into xterm (ssh session). a few times the code hasn't worked. i put it down to characters that i have copied but aren't visable, lf, cr etc has anyone got any tips for removing all superfluous characters when copying from web pages?

Would this work or are there other characters i would have to strip as well?

i have found a few solutions for windows but having trouble with finding a solution under linux (i assume i'm missing something!). i can't be the only person to copy code from the internet. i wouldn't even mind one word anwsers, i just need a solution as i can't see the characters that cause the issue it is hard to know whether i have solved it or not. each time i get this issue i spend hours debugging so any help with this would be really great.
