I create a test file and was able to replace all % with % | by doing this:
:%s/%/% |/g
You shouldn't need to escape the %

I have to replace every occurrence of % in a file with
% |. I have been effectively replacing text using the
following construct:
:%s/\<text\>/replacement/g
However when I try to do the following:
:%s/\<%\>/% |/g
I am greeted by an error message. Obviously, the %
character needs to be treated differently for being
replaced. Escap sequence? I cannot figure out how to
do it. May be trivial for the gurus here. I will be
thankful for a hint.
Many thanks in advance.
