Pagebreak using wp_link_pages in Wordpress

I have a php script that reads a text file of 10000 urls one in each line. The script displays all the urls in a blog post. I want the page to be divided into 10 small pages to facilitate comfortabe browsing. So how to add a pagebreak using <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> function inside a post? Something like this:

<?php
echo "Hi, This is First Page";

wp_link_pages();  

echo "Hi, This is Second Page";
?>

This works just fine:

global $post;
$total = substr_count($post->post_content, '<!--nextpage-->') + 1;

That isn't how wp_link_pages(); works. It only displays your the_content in pages if your the_content contains this tag <!--nextpage-->

sudo code

<?php
echo apply_filter ("the_content" , "Hi, This is First Page<!--nextpage-->Hi, This is second Page");
wp_link_pages(); 
?>

You might want to check out this question as to how to retain the page data if you are creating your own page content and not using the standard content area.

When already in a php block, you can execute a function without opening another php block. According to the documentation, wp_link_pages(); should also be called without echo.

wp_link_pages();
