Linux Count the pipes "|" in line and delete line if count greter then number.

Hello,
I have been working on Awk/sed one liner which counts the number of occurrences of '|' in pipe separated lines of file and delete the line from files if count exceeds "17".
i.e need to get records having exact 17 pipe separated fields(no more or less)

currently i have below :
Code:
awk -F'|' 'NF!=17 {getline;print $0;}'  < leaseLog.lst > leaseLog_clean.lst

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment Please use code tags correctly; don't mix ICODE and CODE !



it will generate the files leaseLog_clean.lst with records having only 17 Pipes but its also containing record having 17+ pipes in line.

Could you please suggest me where i am missing?

Thanks Ketan R

file record example:
Code:

Class that implements the count operator. This operator counts the number of DLF records in the current group. If the fields attribute is set, the count statistics will be equals to the number of different values present in the fields specified by that attribute.

In addition to the values supported by its parents, the fields and ratio attributes will be initialized to the values specified in the %params argument. fields( [$new_fields] ) Returns the fields for which we are counting the different values. This a reference to an array of DLF field names. If the $new_fields parameter is set, it will be used as the new $fields value.
