Have you tried the less command as Yogesh Sawant mentioned?
There are a lot of options to scroll within a file with less. You can search for patterns in your file with /pattern.
To go to line 50 you can type 50g, with 100 you can scroll 100 lines down etc.
Read the manpage of less for other options.
Regards
