This should work on all versions of vim, regardless of operating
system. How are you determining that it isn't working? Is it giving
you an error? Is it not removing the last two characters (the "\|")
from the line? If you are having a problem, you could tweak the
first couple steps to

:1,$-s/$/\\|/

which will tack them onto every line *except* the last one, saving
you that ":s/..$/" step.

This sounds like you're trying to do this in some mode that isn't
normal-mode. Perhaps command-mode?

You could yank the entire line and then just remove the newline at
the end if that's easier.

You mean...other than not remapping away something that is incredibly
valuable? ;-) You can always map something else to it:

:cnoremap <f4> <c-r>

-tim
