cut is better for this, since it accepts ranges of fields. Tell it to print field 1 through nine, then fields 11 and up.

Code:
cut -d '|' -f 1-9,11- < infile > outfile

If you want to do it in awk............

Code:
awk -F "|" '{print $1"|"$2"|"$3"|"$4"|"$5"|"$6"|"$7"|"$8"|"$9"|"$11"|"$12"|"$13}'  < infile

You asked a near identical question and got similar responses in January

If you learn the first principles well, you needn't depend on others.
