 ## Getting Started
 
-### Prerequisites
+### Cloning the Repository
 
-- Python 3.8 or later
-- A valid COBOL source code file
+Clone this repository using the following command:
 
----
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/cobol-to-python.git
+cd cobol-to-python
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+To convert a COBOL file to Python:
+
+```bash
+python cobol_converter.py <input_cobol_file> <output_python_file>
+```
+
+#### Example:
+```bash
+python cobol_converter.py payroll_system.cob payroll_system.py
+```
+
+This command will generate `payroll_system.py` with Python code translated from `payroll_system.cob`.
+
+---
+
+## Input Data Format
+
+The converter assumes specific field layouts for COBOL records. Below is the expected input data format for the `employees.dat` file:
+
+| **Field**       | **Length (Chars)** | **Position** |
+|------------------|--------------------|--------------|
+| Employee ID      | 5                 | 0-4          |
+| Space            | 1                 | 5            |
+| Employee Name    | 20                | 6-25         |
+| Space            | 1                 | 26           |
+| Department       | 19                | 27-45        |
+| Space            | 1                 | 46           |
+| Salary           | 8                 | 47-54        |
+| Space            | 1                 | 55           |
+| Tax Rate         | 5                 | 56-60        |
+

+
+### Output Example
+
+For a COBOL input program like this:
+
+```cobol
+IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
+PROGRAM-ID. PAYROLL-SYSTEM.
+...
+```
+
+The converter generates Python code like:
+
+```python
+import decimal
+
+class PAYROLL_SYSTEM:
+    class EMPLOYEERecord:
+        def __init__(self):
+            self.emp_id = 0
+            self.emp_name = ""
+            self.emp_department = ""
+            self.emp_salary = 0.0
+            self.emp_tax_rate = 0.0
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.employee_file_path = 'employees.dat'
+        ...
+```
+
+---
+
+### Running the Generated Script
+
+After generating the Python script, run it with:
+
+```bash
+python <output_python_file>
+```
+
+Example:
+```bash
+python payroll_system.py
+```
+
+Ensure the input data file (`employees.dat`) exists in the same directory as the script.
