sed split on pipe

Have been googling for some time now and every command I tried fails.  I 
want to use sed from the command line or use it in a windows batch file to 
split on a pipe delimited file, windows server. The examples  have \n as the 
carriage return code, but all that happens is the pipe is replaced by the 
letter n.

the file has a space between each line
