hello all -

I am trying to do the following to this data:
input:
X|Y||||Z||A

desired output:
X|Y| | | |Z| |A

simply replacing || with | | 
whereever it may occur in the string.

This bit of code doesn't seem to do all of the job.

What is wrong with this code?

while (<>) {
while($_ =~ /([|])([|])/g) {
$_ =~ s/([|])([|])/$1 $2/g;
print "$_";
}
}

The problems seems that my bit of code doesn't
completely catch "all" of the || occurences within a
given line.  Please help!!!
