i have a string
14/04/2020|A3|ABC149251|text i really need

can i run something which will trim this string from the end till it get 1st | (pipe symbol)?

i tried rex for this but some error is coming which i am not able to resolve, so thought of taking it the above way.
regular expression i am trying is

(?^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{2,4}|A\d|\ABC\d*|)(?[\w*\s-]+).
getting below error
Error in 'rex' command: Encountered the following error while compiling the regex '(?^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{2,4}|A\d|\INC\d*|)(?[\w*\s-]+)': Regex: unrecognized character follows .

please either correct my regex or let me know how to trim
