Narrative:

A flight progress strip for an air carrier was located at the clearance delivery position with an 'as filed' written on it by previous controller not yet read. The controller stated to me that after the intersection linnd the clearance was as filed. When I took the position I called ny center to ask them what routing came after linnd. They told me intersection slatn. So I read the pilot the route up until linnd then slatn and then as filed. It turns out I was supposed to have read a full route clearance to the pilot; which I had missed. It was noticed by the cab coordinator at ewr when the aircraft was rolling. The tower coordinated with the TRACON and they said they would take care of it. Do not know what happened after that; but ZNY called the tower. I would recommend that markings on a strip not be made until a clearance is issued; for instance the 'as filed' should only be on the strip if that is what was read to pilot. Although this was my mistake; I feel as though the previous controller set me up; yet not purposely.
