I think this sed should do the trick:


Code:
# bsd style sed
sed -E 's/(.*[0-9])(\|)([0-9].*)/\1\3/'  input-file >output-file


# gnu style sed
sed -r 's/(.*[0-9])(\|)([0-9].*)/\1\3/'   input-file >output-file

Code:
perl -pe 's/(?<=[0-9])\|(?=[0-9])//' infile

Code:
sed 's/\([0-9]\)|\([0-9]\)/\1\2/' infile
