You can just use String.Split();
string mystr = "[email protected]|Action Required to Activate Membership for ClanTemplates|href="|">|6|6";
string[] parts = mystr.Split(new char[] { '|' });

i get: Error 1 The best overloaded method match for 'string.Split(params char[])' has some invalid arguments

Look at my sample, i'm using
mystr.Split() directly.Just use the Split method; no need for a regex.
string[] parts = mystr.Split('|');

Sorry Luke, thought I was editing my answer, don't know what happened. Feel free to roll back.

I've followed my answer back through the post, don't know why it didn't go through. Very strange.
If you really want to use Regex, you need to remember to escape the | as \| in raw regex, and in C#, "\\|" or @"\|".
string[] parts = Regex.Split (input, @"\|");
For something simple like this, just use string[] parts = input.Split('|'). You shouldn't use regex in this case unless there's something special, like not wanting to split on escaped pipes (like [email protected]|my value has a \| in it|more stuff'). In this example, you would use this:
string[] parts = Regex.Split (input, @"(?<!\\)\|");
