function IsWhitespace(ch) {
  return(
    ch == ' ' || ch == '\n' || ch == '\r' ||
    ch == '\t' || ch == '\f' || ch == '\v' || ch == '\b'
  );
}

// SaveToClibboard
function S2CB() {
  maxLen = 80;
  numLines = event.srcElement.innerText.length / maxLen;
  newStr = '';
  startPos = 0;
  for (x = 0; x < numLines; x++) {
    endPos = startPos + maxLen;
    while (! IsWhitespace(event.srcElement.innerText.charAt(endPos)))
      endPos--;
    newStr = newStr + event.srcElement.innerText.substring(startPos, endPos) + '\n';
    startPos = endPos + 1;
  }
  newStr = newStr + event.srcElement.innerText.substring(
    startPos, event.srcElement.innerText.length
  ) + '\n';
  window.clipboardData.setData('Text', newStr);
  oSource2.innerText = window.clipboardData.getData('Text');
}

How do I Reset the Root password of MySQL Using Linux?

  1. /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
  2. /usr/local/mysql
  3. use mysql;
  4. update user set password = password('.......') where user = 'root' and host='localhost';
  5. Stop and Start the MySQL server. [2003Oct03 Note] A reader mentioned that it is easier to 'flush privileges' instead of restarting the server.
