You should put your code in pastebin, not in a downloadable rtf file.

Mostly, that's just a really terrible way of doing it. Just define a single 2d array and scroll through it one column at a time. :/

Ok, try this code, I think it might do what you are looking for.
Also, I am assuming you meant text coming in from the right side of the screen and scrolling to the left.
If that is an incorrect assumption, you'll need to tweak some of the math to scroll appropriately.
strLine1 = ".d8888. d888888b db db d88888b d88888b db db .d88b. db d88888b "
strLine2 = "88' YP `~~88~~' 88 88 88' 88' 88 88 .8P Y8. 88 88' "
strLine3 = "`8bo. 88 88 88 88ooo 88ooo 88ooo88 88 88 88 88ooooo "
strLine4 = " `Y8b. 88 88 88 88~~~ 88~~~ 88~~~88 88 88 88 88~~~~~ "
strLine5 = "db 8D 88 88b d88 88 88 88 88 `8b d8' 88booo. 88. "
strLine6 = "`8888Y' YP ~Y8888P' YP YP YP YP `Y88P' Y88888P Y88888P "
local marchTextRtoL = function (strMessage,intLine,strHeader,mon,strSep)
local intOffset = 1
local strHeader = strHeader or "" --Optional
local mon = mon or term.native --Optional
local strSep = strSep or " | " --Optional
local intWidth = mon.getSize()
local strBlank = string.rep(" ",intWidth)
local _, y = mon.getCursorPos()
local intLine = intLine or y -- Optional
local strMsgBuilder = tostring(strMessage)
local strMsgText = strBlank..strHeader..strSep..strMsgBuilder..strBlank
return function ()
local intOff = intOffset
if intOff > string.len(strMsgText) then
intOffset = 1
end
intOffset = intOffset + 1
local strMsgDisplay = string.sub(strMsgText, intOff, intOff + intWidth - 1)
mon.setCursorPos(1, intLine)
mon.clearLine()
mon.write(strMsgDisplay)
end
end
local scrollLine1 = marchTextRtoL(strLine1,1,"",_,"")
local scrollLine2 = marchTextRtoL(strLine2,2,"",_,"")
local scrollLine3 = marchTextRtoL(strLine3,3,"",_,"")
local scrollLine4 = marchTextRtoL(strLine4,4,"",_,"")
local scrollLine5 = marchTextRtoL(strLine5,5,"",_,"")
local scrollLine6 = marchTextRtoL(strLine6,6,"",_,"")
while true do
scrollLine1()
scrollLine2()
scrollLine3()
scrollLine4()
scrollLine5()
scrollLine6()
sleep(0.2)
end
You'll need to tweak a few things to match what you want for your program(duration of scrolling loop, monitor output, etc..)
