One simple minded way to do this would be to import it into Excel (or
your favorite spreadsheet) and then write it back out as tab
delimited. I don't know if you can script Excel to do this or not.

I'm trying to find the most efficient way to import a large dataset
into a Filemaker database.
The raw data comes as vertical pipe delimited records, each
containing either 14, 16 or 18 records, depending on the individual
record format.
Via appleScript I can format the data as tab-delimited or xml, but
with thousands of new records on a daily basis the process can take
too long.
Any suggestion?
