I need to add pipes to the following line:

10.245.1.1     0027.e391.cfc0  6975

Required output:

10.245.1.1|0027.e391.cfc0|697|5

I have tried using sed but I am a mess with regexp. Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend you to check out the gnu manual for regex stuff with sed https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/Regular-Expressions.html

It's a very powerful tool.

The sed command you're asking for is echo '10.245.1.1 0027.e391.cfc0 6975' | sed 's/\([[:graph:]]*\)[[:blank:]]\+\([[:graph:]]*\)[[:blank:]]\+\([[:digit:]]*\)\([[:digit:]]\)/\1|\2|\3|\4/g'
