I’m making an esoteric programming language and when I try to add a loop(a loop is made with an ‘o’ then the amount of times after that. For example, o2hello* this will get hello 2 times and print it with the star(*).) onto the stack by putting ‘a’ at the start. It adds ‘o2hello’ instead of ‘hello 2 times’ as I programmed it as.

stack = []
line = 1

def print_text(text, times):
    if times == -1:
        while True:
            print(f'>> {text}')
    else:
        for _ in range(times):
            print(f'>> {text}')

while True:
    command = input(f'{line} ')

    if command.lower().startswith('a'):
        if command.lower()[1] != 'o':
            if command.endswith('*'):
                stack.append(command[1:-1].replace('*', ''))
                print(f'>> {command[1:-1].replace("*", "")}')
            else:
                stack.append(command[1:].replace('*', ''))
            line += 1
   
    elif command.lower().startswith('b'):
        if command.endswith('*'):
            if stack:
                print(f'>> {stack[0]}')
            else:
                print("Stack is empty")
        line += 1

    elif command.lower().startswith('t'):
        if command.endswith('*'):
            if stack:
                print(f'>> {stack[-1]}')
            else:
                print("Stack is empty")
        line += 1

    elif command.lower().startswith('o'):
        if command.endswith('*'):
            if command[1] == '!':
                print_text(command[3:], -1)
            else:
                print_text(command[2:], int(command[1]))
        line += 1
        if command.lower().startswith('ao'):
            stack.append(f'{command[2:]} {command[1]} times')


    elif command.startswith('>'):
        if command[-1] == '*':
            user_input = input('')
            if command.lower().startswith('a'):
                stack.append(user_input)
            print(f'>> {user_input}')
        line += 1

    elif command.lower() == 'd' or command.lower().startswith('delete'):
        stack = []
        line += 1

    elif command.lower().startswith('r'):
        if command.endswith('*'):
            stack.reverse()
            print(f'>> {stack}')
        else:
            stack.reverse()
            print('>>', stack)
        line += 1

    elif command.startswith('#'):
        if command.endswith('*'):
            print(f'>> {stack}')

                except IndexError:

                    stack.pop(index)
