Remove '| ' from file

Hi,

I am using paste command to concat different fields from different files to create a new file. The new file is creating fine and is creating as a pipe delimited. The issue I am getting into is the new file have spaces after the '|' sign which it should not be there as I am creating a pipe delimited file. Please advise.

Code:
 
paste temp_field1.dat temp_field2_d.dat temp_field3_b.dat temp_field4_b.dat temp_field5_b.dat temp_field6_10.dat> newfile.dat
 
Result from data...
 
3|    JJJJ|    123 MAIN AVE|      ||       ATLANTA|GA|30317||0


Please advise.

Thanks....

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -n, --adjustment=N add integer N to the niceness (default 10) --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nice, which usually supersedes the version described here.
