Hey @aysha6029! Within your Input Data tool's configuration, change the delimiter to | (see the photo below).

If this isn't working for you, try using a Text to Columns tool with | as the delimiter.

Use the "Text to Columns" tool under Parse Tool tab. and  under Delimiters Box enter " | " . That should work.

or 

When you input the file, Click on the Input tool on the cavas on the left hand side The configuration , Number 5 is delimiters enter  |  and that should work too,

 

Thanks
