That awk command works perfectly, thanks (",)

The sed command, is almost there, thanks for the grep -o tip :P I changed it up so it now recognises the variable
Code:
 
grep -o 'PBZ' FileIn | wc -l | while read i;
do sed '1i\
'"$i"''  FileIn > File.out
done

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

but stil having the problem where the '3' wont go on the line above by itself Smilie

Code:
grep 'PBZ' /tmp/FileIn |while read LINE ;do print $(echo $LINE |sed  s/PBZ/PBZ^/g   |tr '^' "\n" |wc -l ) - 1 |bc ;echo $LINE ;done
