Wanting to scroll messages on a "display"

Yes and thanks for the code.

But I have to work with what I have. If the display is 8 digits there is little I can do about making it bigger.

Scrolling the IP over the display is not that bad. It doesn't fly past. This is only so if I need to know the device's IP address I run that code and it is seen.
It is nothing that is going to be there always.
