Reverse rename pairs

BRU wont reverse the OrigName|NewName behavior.
You would need to create a file with reversed text-lines as: NewName|OrigName
The following command creates such a file (non-Unicode only):
FOR /f "delims=| tokens=1,2" %a in (renames.txt) do @echo %b^|%a>>reverse.txt
For Unicodes, I prefer sed to automate such conversions:
SED -r "s/(.*)(\|)(.*)/\3\2\1/" renames.txt > reverse.txt

I've tried using the above SED example but the resulting file is blank. This is my string in a batch file: SED -r "s/(.*)(\|)(.*)/\3\2\1/" 2x2_Renaming_Pairs.txt >> 2x2_Renaming_Pairs_Gatherer.txt
Can you help me understand what I might be doing wrong here?
