What part are you having trouble with?

The delimitator in this case is the "|", enter that into "Other"

I have tested and it works fine

One time import
1. imports your text file into a temp table
2. executes a query that moves (Appends) your data to the live table you want the data in
3. Delete the temp table


Doing the more the once
Create a macro that does the following:
1. imports your text file into a temp table
2. executes a query that moves (Appends) your data to the live table you want the data in
3. Delete the temp table
