@phils force of habit from my backslash-phobia :) speaking of which @nickd neglected to mention that you need to do C-c TAB string RET in re-buildier to select the "replace-regex" style of regexes, otherwise you'll have to translate multiple blackslashes yourself

You might find re-builder helpful when constructing regexps: do M-x re-builder in the above buffer (best to have it in a single window in the frame) and type you regexp; it will show you what is matched at every stage.

as @shynur mention you've got two logical OR's, not two escaped pipe characters. try [|][|] or [|]\{2\} instead
