Put your text in a buffer.
Print the buffer from 0 to 15
wait some time
Print the buffer from 1 to 16
wait some time
Print the buffer from 2 to 17
wait some time
...

Search the forum - this question comes once a month.

Two examples:
Library to print to LCD "in the backround" using a buffer - Using Arduino / Programming Questions - Arduino Forum

If you are using the library:

try the " lcd.autoscroll(); " or " lcd.scrollDisplayLeft(); "or " lcd.scrollDisplayRight() ; ".

Searching the forum is not as easy as searching the internet... I can only use one search term or I get endless irrelevant topics. I searched "LCD" for this example from last week.

if people would post their LCD questions in the subforum "Displays" it would be easier.

@viet5d
you can move your post from the generic Programming Questions to the more appropriate "Display" Section when you use the pencil/edit icon in the header line.
