Sliding GUI Text is out of place - help?

Hello! I'm making a Sliding GUI Text that will be synced with my website. However, the problem is, is that obviously because when there is a lot of text, the text is positioned somewhere else or it cuts off part of it. Is there a way to fix that? Currently I have this:

01place = "Place1"
02 
03function explode(str, separator, withpattern) -- credit: https://code.google.com/p/divranspack/source/browse/trunk/+divranspack/Non+Gmod+Things/Minecraft+Lua+Server/luadriver/string.lua?r=475
04        if separator == "" then
05                local ret = {}
06                for i=1,#str do
07                        ret[i] = string.sub(str,i,i)
08                end
09                return ret
10        end
11    local ret = {}
12    local index,lastPosition = 1,1
13    if not withpattern then separator = string.gsub( separator, "[%-%^%$%(%)%%%.%[%]%*%+%?]", "%%%1" ) end
14    for startPosition,endPosition in string.gmatch( str, "()" .. separator.."()" ) do
15        ret[index] = string.sub( str, lastPosition, startPosition-1)
16        index = index + 1
17        lastPosition = endPosition
18    end
19    ret[index] = string.sub( str, lastPosition)
20    return ret
21end

23pages = {}
24curpage = ""
25curpagen = 0

32        if sav ~= prevsav then
33            prevsav = sav
34            local pages2 = explode(sav,"(;break;)")
35            if #pages2 >= 1 then
36                for i,_ in pairs(pages) do
37                    table.remove(pages,i)
38                end
39                for _,v in pairs(pages2) do
40                    local one,x = string.gsub(v,"%%player%%",script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
41                    local two,x = string.gsub(one,"%%place%%",place)

50            curpagen = 1
51            curpage = pages[1]

53        wait(4)
54    end

60    script.Parent.TextLabel.Position = UDim2.new(tonumber("1."..string.len(script.Parent.TextLabel.Text).."")/2,0,0,0) -- problem here

Does anyone know something like a mathematical formulae for a sliding text GUI that is properly positioned? Thank you.
