If you are using windows, it's easiest to set up WinSCP to access the Pi via SFTP. If you have Notepad++ installed, you can set up WinSCP to allow you to edit files via Notepad++ (or probably other editors as well.
If you want to edit on the Pi, Ctrl+K and Ctrl+U are cut and paste for a line. (http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/11/quick-guide-to-nano-text-editor-on-the-raspberry-pi/)
I personally find the SFTP with editor app on a computer to be a lot easier to manage though.

Personally, I would encourage yoU to retype it in. It'll help you understand what you're doing, which is always useful, especially if you have to troubleshoot stuff down the line!
