I'm not sure if theres a neater solution out there, but I usually just pipe
it through a one liner perl script and then back into psql, sorta like

cat filename|perl -ne 's/\|/,/g; chop $_; print "insert into tablename values
($_);\n"'|psql databasename

under the bash shell. Of course this all gets a bit messy if there are
strings involved, but works nicely for numerical data. although the example
given suggests you have access to the original database, in which case simply
pg_dumping it is a much easier solution :)
