+# Actor Data Parser
+
+This repository contains a Python script to parse actor data from a formatted string.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Parse actor information from the following format:
+```
+actor:Daractor:Darliewithrowliewithrowactor:Darliewithrowactor:Darliewithrow
+```
+
+## Solution
+
+The `actor_parser.py` script parses the input string by splitting on the `actor:` delimiter and extracting unique actor names.
+
+### Usage
+
+Run with default data:
+```bash
+python3 actor_parser.py
+```
+
+Run with data from a file:
+```bash
+python3 actor_parser.py actor_data.txt
+```
+
+### Output
+
+```
+Parsed Actors:
+1. Dar
+2. Darliewithrowliewithrow
+3. Darliewithrow
+
+Total unique actors: 3
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_actor_parser.py
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- The parser splits the input string by `actor:` delimiter
+- Removes empty strings and whitespace
+- Maintains unique actors in order of first appearance
+- Returns a list of actor names

+# Actor Data Parser
+
+This repository contains a Python script to parse actor data from a formatted string.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Parse actor information from the following format:
+```
+actor:Daractor:Darliewithrowliewithrowactor:Darliewithrowactor:Darliewithrow
+```
+
+## Solution
+
+The `actor_parser.py` script parses the input string by splitting on the `actor:` delimiter, then intelligently filters out corrupted and fragmented actor names to extract only valid actor names.
+
+### Usage
+
+Run with default data:
+```bash
+python3 actor_parser.py
+```
+
+Run with data from a file:
+```bash
+python3 actor_parser.py actor_data.txt
+```
+
+### Output
+
+```
+Parsed Actors:
+1. Darliewithrow
+
+Total unique actors: 1
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_actor_parser.py
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- The parser splits the input string by `actor:` delimiter
+- Identifies and filters out corrupted names with internal repetitions
+- Removes fragment names that are prefixes of longer valid names
+- Maintains unique actors in order of first appearance
+- Returns a list of valid actor names
