How do I copy/paste from the terminal btw?

Code:
tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile

Code:tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile
clien.ovpn:1 : EAWNA:105,1 (2.1_rc20) was the error
Tried tr -d '\r' config.conf conf.conf but it didn't work, gave me an empty line after I pressed enter, the ~ thingy didn't reappear and had to close the terminal before I could use it again
I'll try installing Leafpad, and have to untar, so give me a couple of mins
(sorry but I'm a REAL Linux noob)
Right so I'm stuck. When I try to un-tar the Leafpad.tar.bz2 file, it gives me the "tar: invalid gzip magic" error. please help
EDIT Nevermind I've tried the .tar.gz file which seems to work
EDIT2 it didn't but found another way:
apt-get install leafpad
Started the download and installation of Leafpad
Geez this is confusing lol didn't know it could download from the terminal *blush*

There's a difference between
Code:
tr -d '\r' config.conf conf.conf
Code:
tr -d '\r' < config.conf > conf.conf

Right, cheers for that, but no longer needed. couldn't find leafpad on the app mgr.
Problem is solved. I used emails with attachments to send the files to the n900, and the combination of gmail and nokia messaging gave me corrupted attachments, which i found out after editing the config file with leafpad.
thanks so much for your help guys
ended up opening gmail in the webbrowser and downloading the attachments from it. the applet isn't clever enough to delete/overwrite all of the old files tho, so had to do that manually. I'm a happy camper now 
EDIT: Made the post a little clearer

@ Mikkov
Yes 100% sure. First I deleted the old config, which included the personal cert file, but it didn't show the cert file in the list of files which it was about to delete (in the "are you sure" dialog)
Then I fed it the new files, which were all in 1 separate folder. Yet it gave some strange error during the test and didn't connect. Manually deleted all of the config related files in the openvpn folder, then tried again. All worked perfectly.
So it's probably a minor issue, since only 1 of the 4 files wasn't deleted, but still.

Hi Guys, i don't understand. I installed OpenVpn and i've tried to configure it with negative results. In which file I have to insert IP address,user and password to access my VNP?
Thanks in advance.

I'll try the leaf thingy
