   add_filter('the_content', 'content_intercept');
   
   function content_intercept($content) {
   //how many characters to show from each post
   $maxchars = "200";
   $newcontent = ''.substr($content, 0, $maxchars).'...';
   return $newcontent;

   I'm not quite sure what you are trying to acheive. Could you explain in more detail what you want this filter to do.

   A read more link can be added using the following code
   

   global $id;
   $more_link_text='read more>>';
   $newcontent .= ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>";
