The Harmonic Echo

A signal is compressed using a nested repeat notation: 'count{content}'. For example, '2{A}' expands to 'AA', and '2{A3{B}}' expands to 'ABBBABBB'. Write a program to fully expand a given signal string. You may assume the input is always valid and counts are positive integers. Input Format: A single string containing letters, numbers, and curly braces. Output Format: The fully expanded string. Example: Input: 3{HI}2{B} Output: HIHIHIBB
