For something close, you can use the following python code that is
pretty speedy and should handle arbitrary counts of repeats, and pad in
the optionally missing bits with "1"

###########################################
import re
r = re.compile(r'\((\d+)\)')
def printall(leader, bits):
if bits and bits[0].strip():
text = bits[0]
try:
times = int(bits[1])
except:
times = 1
for i in range(times):
printall(
'%s%s%i' % (leader, text, i+1),
bits[2:]
)
else:
print leader
for line in file('epanda.txt'):
line = line.rstrip('\n')
if r.search(line):
printall('', r.split(line))
else:
print line

###########################################

You can tweak the behavior for those lines that have no count so they
behave as you want.
