[ale] Quick substitution question

[Armsby John-G16665]

I have a large file which has tab delimited information per line.

Can some blast out a quick vi command to substitute  a pipe | for the tab \t ?

This does not work.... :%s/\t/|/g

I am trying to make this simple for others in my group.  I would prefer not to use perl or awk, etc.  I know they can do it but I am considering those who will follow me here...

thanks,


John
