Ok, im a noob. So i need someones help to create a program and explain it so that i can print some text on a monitor. Unfortunatly i dont have any code right now because a friend deleted all of it. I would like for it to ouput to the monitor below it with the following text:
———————————-
Welcome To
Swam's Shop of Destiny
———————————-
Also mabey a bit more centered, and i want the lines to go all the way across.
PS Im useing the version that Tekkit Classic uses so no advanced monitors

local h, w = term.getSize
local monitor = peripheral.wrap(sideMonitorisON)
monitor.setCursorPos(1,1)
monitor.write(string.rep("-", w))
monitor.setCursorPos(1, 7)
monitor.write(string.rep("-", w))
As for the printing centered there are a a few people who published small sections of code that have that, and I use one from someone else so I would prefer not to share it on his behalf.

for center text :)/>
function center (text)
x, y = mon.getSize()
x1, y1 = mon.getCursorPos()
mon.setCursorPos((math.floor(x/2) - (math.floor(#text/2))+1), y1)
mon.write(text)
mon.setCursorPos( x1, y1 + 1 )
end

To center text you would set your x cursor position at half the monitor width minus half the text length. Building on TYKUHN2's example…
local mX, mY = monitor.getSize() --# get monitor width and height
local welcomeText = "Welcome To" --# define the text to be centered
monitor.setCursorPos(math.floor(monX/2) - math.floor(#welcomeText/2), 2) --# center the cursor horizontally
monitor.write(welcomeText) --# write the text to the monitor
