I want to keep only 6 delimiter(|) in each row
I apologize. I didn't see that your input file has all those varying numbers of delimiters.

If you only want six remaining, it is not clear what to do with some of the lines, whether to retain the data or not. Here is the input:
Code:
aaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|fff|dsaaFFDFD|
Adsads|sas|sa|as|asa|saddas|dsasd|sdad|
dsas|dss|sss|sss|ddd|dssd|rrr|fddf|
www|fff|refd|dads|fsdf|00sd|
5fgdg|dfs00|d55f|sfds55|445fsd|55ds|sdf|

Is this the output you want, or something different:
Code:
aaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|fff|dsaaFFDFD|
Adsads|sas|sa|as|asa|saddas|
dsas|dss|sss|sss|ddd|dssd|
www|fff|refd|dads|fsdf|00sd|
5fgdg|dfs00|d55f|sfds55|445fsd|55ds|
