This is not really possible with just simple and quick steps (what you seem to think), you need to use some kind of MyCode to split the code just like how Wordpress does it (<!--more--> IIRC). Also, it is no really necessary for you to share a whole file in your thread.
A tip I have is to learn AJAX. You could have use the onclick event for the Continue Reading link.
