Grep char count & pipe to sed command

Hi
I am having a 'grep' headache
Here is the contents of my file:

(PBZ,CP,(((ME,PBZ,BtM),ON),((ME,((PBZ,DG),(CW9,PG11))),CW9,TS2,RT1)))

I would like to count out how many times 'PBZ' occurs and then place that number in the line above

3
(PBZ,CP,(((ME,PBZ,BtM),ON),((ME,((PBZ,DG),(CW9,PG11))),CW9,TS2,RT1)))


This is how i am doing so far on my code
Code:
grep 'PBZ' FileIn | wc -c | while read i;
do sed '1i\ 
$i' FileIn > Fileout
done

This is what i get for my Fileout
$i(PBZ,CP,(((ME,PBZ,BtM),ON),((ME,((PBZ,DG),(CW9,PG11))),CW9,TS2,RT1)))


I know that there are three main problems here

1) grep 'PBZ' FileIn | wc -c = 70 .... it is counting every character instead of just counting all the 'PBZ'
2) When i do my while read i command, it does not carry the count over to my sed command thus my $i was not changed in my code
3) The $i is being placed before, but on the same line as my string, i would like it to be on a separate line above my string.

If anyone has any suggestions or tips on how i could correct this it would be very much appriciated.Smilie

NAME
claev2.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine claev2 (A, B, C, RT1, RT2, CS1, SN1) CLAEV2 Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine claev2 (complexA, complexB, complexC, realRT1, realRT2, realCS1, complexSN1) CLAEV2 Purpose: CLAEV2 computes the eigendecomposition of a 2-by-2 Hermitian matrix [ A B ] [ CONJG(B) C ]. On return, RT1 is the eigenvalue of larger absolute value, RT2 is the eigenvalue of smaller absolute value, and (CS1,SN1) is the unit right eigenvector for RT1, giving the decomposition [ CS1 CONJG(SN1) ] [ A B ] [ CS1 -CONJG(SN1) ] = [ RT1 0 ] [-SN1 CS1 ] [ CONJG(B) C ] [ SN1 CS1 ] [ 0 RT2 ]. Parameters: A A is COMPLEX The (1,1) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. B B is COMPLEX The (1,2) element and the conjugate of the (2,1) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. C C is COMPLEX The (2,2) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. RT1 RT1 is REAL The eigenvalue of larger absolute value. RT2 RT2 is REAL The eigenvalue of smaller absolute value. CS1 CS1 is REAL SN1 SN1 is COMPLEX The vector (CS1, SN1) is a unit right eigenvector for RT1. Author: Univ. of Tennessee Univ. of California Berkeley Univ. of Colorado Denver NAG Ltd. Date: November 2011 Further Details: RT1 is accurate to a few ulps barring over/underflow. RT2 may be inaccurate if there is massive cancellation in the determinant A*C-B*B; higher precision or correctly rounded or correctly truncated arithmetic would be needed to compute RT2 accurately in all cases. CS1 and SN1 are accurate to a few ulps barring over/underflow. Overflow is possible only if RT1 is within a factor of 5 of overflow. Underflow is harmless if the input data is 0 or exceeds underflow_threshold / macheps. Definition at line 122 of file claev2.f.
