You can use a regular expression (regex) to remove the empty pipes in the pipe delimited text file. Here's an example of how you can do it using Python:
import re

# Read the file
with open('filename.txt', 'r') as f:
file_content = f.read()

# Remove empty pipes
new_file_content = re.sub('\|+', '|', file_content)

# Write the updated content back to the file
with open('filename.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write(new_file_content)

In this code, I used the re.sub() method from the Python re module to replace one or more consecutive pipe symbols (\|+) with a single pipe symbol (|). This effectively removes any empty fields between two valid fields.

Make sure you replace 'filename.txt' in the code with the actual filename/path of your pipe delimited text file.
