Re: Custom Scrollabe Text File Viewer

script load the file into memory in chunks (how printfile() works by
default).
That's interesting. Like just use the frame object as a kind of viewport for the lines I want to display, and use the up/down/etc to control which range of lines come into view. Seems very doable. Thanks for the thought.
Ok, this version does exactly that. It still reads the entire file into memory, but it only writes a screen's worth of text to the frame at a time. Now it's much faster and has handled everything I've thrown at it. The largest file I tried was 1,599 KB, and it handled it with ease. I don't personally plan on displaying files higher than the megabyte teritory, at least not currently. I also ditched the scrollbar in favor of a simple percentage indicator in the bottom right. Other than that, it works basically like the one I demo'd earlier.
If I keep working on this, I might try to add a CTRL+F option for finding text, but probably not much else. For now it suits my needs just fine.
