Use this snippet for instantiating CSVWriter.

CSVWriter csvWriter = new CSVWriter(writer,
                                    '|',
                                    CSVWriter.NO_QUOTE_CHARACTER,
                                    CSVWriter.DEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER,
                                    CSVWriter.DEFAULT_LINE_END);

Just pass the pipe character as the default separator.

CSVWriter csvWriter = new CSVWriter(writer,'|');
