Scroll table up/down

Hey guys,

maybe I do not see the forest for the trees but I want single values from a table printed on the screen like this

[1] - "blabla"
[2] - "blublu"
	 [1] - 17
	 [2] - "haha"

My code works quiet good and all the indentations are ok, but I do not get it to get scrolled up/down properly. So when I use term.scroll() with 1 or -1 params I have the problem that the bottommost/topmost value gets deleted at each step which is not what I want^^.

I hope you can follow me bad english explanations (sorry :)/> ) and point me a way to solve this really annoying thing.

Cheers Mirodin

Can you show us the code you currently have? I know its not necessary for this one, but I would like to know how far you came

You'll have to replace the data as you scroll it back onto the screen–the terminal does not keep track of lines scrolled off-screen.

So here is my code. I know, it is quiet messy because of my minor Lua skills and the experiments to write it down in two columns.
I hope you will understand it despite of german ;)/>

P.S.: sauber() is a function which clears my terminal

function anzeigen(db, von, bis, mitk)
	local _, tast, x, y, maxY
	local maxY = false
	local maxX = 0
	local einrueck = 0
	local count = 1
	local w, h = term.getSize()
	local tmp = {}
	local inter = {
		["TOP"] = "Verwendung: mit Pfeil hoch/runter navigieren, mit \"Esc\" verlassen.",
		["TRENN"] = "-",
	}
  
	local function show()
  
		if count > bis then
	  
			count = von
		  
		elseif count < von then
	  
			count = bis
		  
		end
	  
		sauber()
		print(inter["TOP"].."\n"..count.."/"..#tmp.."\n")
	  
		local function aufloesung(tab)
	  
			einrueck = einrueck + 1
			local einrueck = einrueck
		  
			for k, v in pairs(tab) do
		  
				x, y = term.getCursorPos()
			  
				if x > maxX then maxX = x end
			  
				if y == h - 2 then
			  
					y = 5
					maxY = true
				  
				end
			  
				if maxy == true then einrueck = x + 10 end
			  
				if type(v) == "table" then
			  
					if mitk then
				  
						term.setCursorPos(einrueck,y + 1)
						term.write(k)
					  
					end
				  
					aufloesung(v)
				  
				else
			  
					term.setCursorPos(einrueck,y + 1)
					term.write(tostring(k).." - "..tostring(v))
				  
				end
			  
			end
		  
		end
	  
		aufloesung(tmp[count])
	  
		for i = 1, w do
	  
			if maxY then
		  
				term.setCursorPos(i, h)
			  
			else
		  
				term.setCursorPos(i, y + 2)
			  
			end
		  
			term.write(inter["TRENN"])
		  
		end
	  
	end
  
	for k, v in pairs(db) do
  
		tmp[count] = {[k] = v}
		count = count + 1
	  
	end
  
	if type(von) == "boolean" then
  
		mitk = von
		von = 1
	  
	elseif type(bis) == "boolean" then
  
		mitk = bis
		bis = #tmp
	  
	end
  
	von = von or 1
	bis = bis or #tmp
  
	if von > bis then
  
		print("Der Startwert muss kleiner sein, als der Endwert!")
		print("Die Datenbank wird vom ersten Wert ausgehend angezeigt...")
	  
		von = 1
	  
	elseif von > #tmp then
  
		print("Die Datenbank endet vor dem angegebenen Startwert!")
		print("Die Datenbank wird vom ersten Wert ausgehend angezeigt...")
	  
		von = 1
	  
	end

	if bis > #tmp then

		print("Die Datenbank endet vor dem angegebenen Endwert!")
		print("Die Datenbank wird bis zum Ende angezeigt...")
	  
		bis = #tmp
	  
	end

	show()
  
	while true do
  
		_, tast = os.pullEvent("key")
	  
		if tast == 200 then
	  
			count = count - 1
		  
		elseif tast == 208 then
	  
			count = count + 1
		  
		elseif tast == 1 then
	  
			sauber()
		  
			return
		  
		end
	  
		einrueck = 0
		maxX = 0
		maxY = false
	  
		show()
