Help with printing text to a Monitor

Hi currently trying to do a item sorter and i am now stuck at a little ticker. I have read all the wikis, but i can not figure out why it won't print this simple text on a monitor.
Tried everything, but i can't get it to work. Hope you can help me. I took most of it out, but it still stops after the "first Row with Item Names "

function ticker()



m = peripheral.wrap("left")
m.clear()
m.setCursorBlink(false)
m.setTextScale(1)



local file = fs.open("views","r")
local data = file.readAll()
file.close()
view = textutils.unserialize(data)


-- Row with Item Name
m.setCursorPos(3,2)
m.write("Cobblestone")
m.setCursorPos(3,4)
m.write("Dirt")

-- Row with Item amount
m.setCursorPos(18,2)
m.write(view[1])
m.setCursorPos(18,4)
m.write(view[2])


-- 2nd Row with Item Name
m.setCursorPos(40,2)
m.write("Cobblestone")
m.setCursorPos(40,4)
m.write("Dirt")


-- 2nd Row with Item amount
m.setCursorPos(55,2)
m.write(view[1])
m.setCursorPos(55,4)
m.write(view[2])


end

Have you tried using right instead of left?

The monitor is outputting at least two lines, so i must ve gotten the wrap side correctly. It just stops after printing:

Cobblestone

Dirt

How big is the monitor, are you writing off the screen?

Monitor is 7 advanced monitors wide and 4 high. Resolution is about 72*27, sorry if i missed to give that information.

Also the table "view" has information in it, which i can view fine by just typing print(view[1]).

There is something wrong with how you are loading the file or what is in the file but i don't know much about file loading so i can't help there.

I just tried it with a fake set of data and it worked fine for me.

This is worrying, because i just took out the table and replaced it with a simpe "test" string and it still didn't work.

I have a little paint program that does drawPixel on a mouseclick event which works fine, so i can communicate with the monitor.

Txs for the help guys.

Have you got this working? If not, then you should post your current test code.

I would recommend starting by just replacing:

local file = fs.open("views","r")
local data = file.readAll()
file.close()
view = textutils.unserialize(data)

with

view = {"table string 1","table string 2",}

Yeah, i redownloaded the whole feed the beast client(force update) which seemed to fix my problem. Finished my project aswell, so thanks for the help.
