[BioC] Gene names

[Narendra Kaushik]

I have gene file in this format, everything in one column (no spaces at all): 
SFTPB|NM_000542.1|4506904|surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein B
Is there any way to convert it in this format (into four columns) except
manually? 

SFTPB                        NM_000542.1               4506904               
surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein B

Any suggestions?
