To remove new line character

Hi,
I am facing one interesting problem :
I have a file which contains data like this
459,|1998-11-047|a |b |c \n efg | d|e | \n
459,|1998-11-047|a \n c|b |c \n efg | d|e | \n
Basically what I have to do is , I have to remove all \n which is coming ( enclosed ) in between two pipes ( | ).. The red coloured only...
The problem I am facing is , when i try to do it using sed .. because of this \n , sed takes the entries after it as next record.

Could you please help me

Shihab
