st: Reading in massive pipe-delimited files

Hello Statalist!
I am working on a project with a pipe-delimited file that is about
36GB. Let's assume that I have enough memory on my server to process
this data. I want to insheet it into smaller datasets. The pipes,
however, are making my life very difficult.
Using filefilter
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-10/msg00796.html) to
replace pipes with spaces has more or less locked up the server. Any
other suggestions that might work better?
thanks,
Carolina
