How exclude | from txt.file using awk or sed?

Hi, I have to ask something related to awk programming. How exclude | in next line
|538|5431|205430|115602554343123|53791543454351423|94545|4555|52554|

and get a line without | just spaces between numbers like below.
538 5431 205430 115602554343123 53791543454351423 94545 4555 52554

I need this because a example without a | is possible to filter in awk or using sort command.

Does anybody know how to do this.

Regards.

you could pipe the data into tr to replace the | with a space:

Code:

cat <filename> | tr "|" " " | awk...
