I am trying to keep the pipe symbol between the quotes

I have tried these, still not getting the expected results.

sed -e ':a;s/^\(\(\(["]\)[^\3]*\3\|[^"]*\)*\)|/\1/;ta' data_file_name

Code:
awk '{  for (i = 0; ++i <= NF;) if (i != NF) {printf "%s",$i} else {printf "%s\n",$i}}' FPAT='("[^"]+")|([^|]+)' data_file_name

Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada(3pm)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada - Obtain stock and mutual fund prices from finance.canada.com

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;

	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   # Can failover to other methods
	   %quotes = $q->fetch("canada", "stock_fund-code");

	   # Use this module only
	   %quotes = $q->fetch("financecanada", "stock_fund-code");

DESCRIPTION

       This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds from finanace.canada.com.	The information source "canada" can be
       used if the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to specifically use finance.canada.com.

STOCK_FUND-CODE
       Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier.  This module uses the symbols as used on finance.canada.com.  The
       simplest way to fetch the ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to finance.canada.com, search for your particular stock or mutual fund,
       and note the symbol ID.	This is helpfully provided by the site in their returned HTML quote.

LABELS RETURNED

       Information available from financecanada may include the following labels:

       method source name symbol currency date nav last price
