Question Help required on file formating

I have two files file1 and file2 as shown below:
file1:
name
nameabc
bcd
nameabcdefg


file2:
age
age1111
age2345
age6743

I have pasted one file on the other with the delimiter "|" and the resulttant file is:
name|age
nameabc|age1111
bcd|age2345
nameabcdefg|age6743

but I want it to be formatted like this:
name |age
nameabc |age1111
bcd |age2345
nameabcdefg |age6743

I tried it with "\t" but since the length of name can vary the number of tabs is not constant. Can anybody give a solution to this?

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xzdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), or lzop(1). All options specified are passed directly to cmp(1) or diff(1). If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved. The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zdiff(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified. Tukaani 2011-03-19 XZDIFF(1)
