Regex Tool: Extracting characters

Hi, I was working on a dataset and wanted to extract an expression between 2 characters :

 

Sample Dataset:

T14s |1300g| 25cm 30cm 33cm Black

 

In the above expression I wanted to retrieve only the following information: 1300g

I tried the following expression: \|\d{4}\|

The data parsed was as follows: |1300g|

Ca anyone let me know how to avoid the | characters in the parsed data?? Much appreciate.
