tr ' ' '|' < file > newfile

Franklin52, you should choose option while using tr.

 tr -s ' ' '|'  < File name > New File

How so? It's not at all clear from the sample data that the -s option is required.

Not required...

And solutions with awk and sed..

sed 's/ /|/g' < file > out

awk 'gsub(/ /,"|",$0);' < file >out
