Replace Linebreak with Characters

I want to replace my linebreaks with a character.

Before:

Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4

After:

Test1|Test2|Test3|Test4

For this I tried following Script:

$a=Get-Content "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test2.txt"   
$a=$a.Replace("`r`n","|")

But this gives me the following:

Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4

What did I wrong? I ask a similar question couple of hours ago: Replace Word with a Linebreak

But it dont help me at my current Problem.

Try this :

$a=Get-Content "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test2.txt" -raw  
$a=$a -Replace '\n', '|'

the -raw parameter will make the content to be threated as a single string
