add quotes to each string and change the delimiter for a comma

Question

I have this string:

private | public-read | public-read-write | authenticated-read | aws-exec-read | bucket-owner-read | bucket-owner-full-control

I would like to find a mnemonic or easy pattern that could allow me to achieve this:

"private" , "public-read", "public-read-write", "authenticated-read", "aws-exec-read", "bucket-owner-read","bucket-owner-full-control"

If am trying first with \w:

s/\(\w\+\)/"\1"/g

But problem is that ignore the colon and returns:

"public"-"read"-"write" 

instead of:

"public-read-write"

Any ideas, tips?

You can break this up into 3 substitutions and apply them in sequence:

:s/ | /", "/g | s/^/"/ | s/$/"/

• s/ | /", "/g replaces all the | delimiters with the quote and commas.
• | s/^/"/ a second substitution places a quote at the start of the line.
• | s/$/"/ a third substitution places a quote at the end of the line.
