Default advanced find and replace help

I want to replace sections between cells with a pipe symbol ' | ' but I cant
seem to get the function right. Because different data has different lengths
and characters, the find and replace function is too general. I eventually
want to merge the sections and place it in notepad when done.


e.g. I want to convert this:

AJE-1 NGA OML 113 AJE OML-1134 NIGERIA
N/A NGA OML 114 AJE OML-1113 NIGERIA

To this:

AJE-1|NGA|OML 113|AJE|OML-113|NIGERIA
N/A|NGA|OML 113|AJE|OML-113|NIGERIA

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
