Homebrew Unlimited Text File

[kiafazool]

hey guys
can any one tell me a text viewer app/homebrew that works on the ak2i w/ akaio 1.7 that can read a txt file of up to 90k lines or more or better yet unlimited
i want to be able to have a heartgold walkthrough on the move
i have the walkthrough from this link but i have deleted the title and the updates to lower the number of lines
the count starts from table of contents

Does moonshell have a limit on the number of lines?

 

[kiafazool]

i dont know
i was using textds homebrew but that only supports up to 30k lines

You could break it up into kanto, johto and then the rest

I'll check other homebrew to see if they can manage larger files.

 

[kiafazool]

ill try that
but thanks in advance for looking for a homebrew that i need

Moonshell should work. I don't recall there being a limit, it just may need to load halfway through the reading of the file.

The problem with unlimited is that it would have to stream the text file from your memory card. Whilst that would be fine for general viewing of the file, it would make searching larger files very slow, that is why TextDS stores the entire file in RAM. Of course, this is only in theory, I have never tested the real overheads of this method. I might test it out for TextDS3 and have an option to use streaming files with unlimited size and potentially slow searching, or fully cached files with limited size and very fast searching. Don't expect this update to come within the next couple of weeks though (busy with other things at the min).

The number is from the user manual thing...you can add it as your favorite by pressing Y and then X I think....

[Rydian]

Go to moonshell, press Y to access info about it, and then press X to make it a favorite.

 

[kiafazool]

i didn't have time to even put moonshell on my ak2i
ill try it soon

thanks for everyones help

 

[The Pi]

wow pi
how did u get that number
I wrote a program to generate a massive text file with 1,000,000 lines

the file was like this
CODE1
2
3
4
5
...

and put it in to moonshell and I could read up to 131072.

Hmm, that doesn't necessarily mean moonshell2 can open all text files and view 131072 lines. I'm not sure how the moonshell2 text viewer allocates memory, but if it has variable line lengths (line length up to a return character), then that number would decrease significantly when trying a text file with longer lines. Perhaps you could try making each line something like:

1abcdefg
2abcdefg
3abcdefg
4abcdefg
5abcdefg

and see if it still views that many lines? I'm interested to know

Moonshell can read huge text files, but you can't edit the big ones. So, if the only thing you intend to do is read the guide, you can just put that on your µSD and open it with Moonshell's Text Viewer (or whatever it's called).

 

[The Pi]

In response to stormwave it's still 131072 lines

 

[Stormwave]

Fair enough, thanks for informing me

 

[kiafazool]

i just cant seem to be getting moonshell to work on my ak2i
can u all please go to my other thread and help me out there

helping me will be greatly appreciated
