Sed - Make new line?

How do I use sed to make a new line in a file (test.txt) everytime it has a bar and then a space - like this:

some text| some other test |

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

nawk 'BEGIN{FS="[|] ";OFS="\n"} $1=$1' file

I get a nawk: not found error when I run that code. Does that mean that my Shell doesn't support nawk? Thanks a lot

try it with 'awk' or 'gawk'
