testing

Now be aware, my understanding of awk is limited, so im sorry if i offend with my bad code

I tested
Code:
awk '/PBZ/{s=$0;$0=(gsub("PBZ","") RS $0)}1' FileIn

however it gave me this
3
(,CP,(((ME,,BtM),ON),((ME,((,DG),(CW9,PG11))),CW9,TS2,RT1)))

it effectivly deleted my PBZ from my files. I tried to reslove this by deleting gsub("PBZ","") but then of course it didnt work atall

how would i go about fixing this without just saying substitute PBZ with PBZ??

Code:
awk '/PBZ/{s=$0;$0=(gsub("PBZ","PBZ") RS $0)}1' FileIn

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
