right now I already made all the connections and I can load text into the program from an exturnal txt file. I can also print these in a panel with the TEXT object.
but my problem is I can only print 1 line. and moost of the time I need to print 5 or more.
I found this function to help me get more strings to the screen.
txt_addstring(text,stest);
here:
text is the text object
and stest is the string
but the code keaps saying that it doesn't know the function, could it be the function name got changed? or am I doing somthing wrong?
do note that I found the function in the online manual.

// legacy usage
// var temp[3];
TEXT txt {
//font = ?;
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
strings = 32;
flags = VISIBLE;
}
function main() {
// load STRINGs from file
temp.x = txt_load(txt, "file.txt");
// temp.x is number of STRINGs loaded
// access nth STRING, last STRING
temp.y = str_len(txt.string[temp.x -1]);
// temp.y = str_len((txt.pstring)[n]);
}

}thank you this already really helped me. but I was wondering. if it posible just to extract a specific amount of lines. since I have a program that looks fore a answer to the asked question and then the answer must be printed onto the screen. I have been trying to do this with the code you gave me but it's just printing everything no mather what I do.

Relevant, digestible, manageable, practical, reasonable or not, it should be possible to load text from file into a non-VISIBLE TEXT, and show n lines from that in a VISIBLE TEXT, via something similar to str_cpy(tShown.string[j], tHidden.string[i]).
Note: Functions txt_setvisible, txt_setinvisible, might be A7 Lite-C only.

Like testDummy said, something like this. (Untested, as I dont really know c-script)
// legacy usage
// var temp[3];
TEXT txt {
//font = ?;
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
strings = 32;
flags = VISIBLE;
}
TEXT txt_buffer { strings = 255; } //this IS invisible
function main() {
temp.x = txt_load(txt_buffer, "file.txt"); // load STRINGs from file
// temp.x is number of STRINGs loaded
//
temp.y = str_len(txt_buffer.string[temp.x -1]); // access nth STRING, last STRING
//
// copy first 5 lines to the screen
temp.z = 0;
while(temp.z < 5)
{
str_cpy(txt.string[temp.z], txt_buffer.string[temp.z]);
//or str_cpy((txt.string)[temp.z], (txt_buffer.string)[temp.z]);
temp.z = temp.z + 1;
}
}
