" | " delimiter in Scanner ignores the '|'.

Am I using the Delimiter wrong?
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
public class four_c
     public static void main( String[] args ) throws FileNotFoundException
          Scanner inFile = new Scanner ( new FileReader( "booklist.txt" ) ).useDelimiter( " | " );
          System.out.println( inFile.next() + inFile.next() + inFile.next() );
