Using shell command in emacs, rec2csv --delim=| Testrec.rec

You probably need to scape that `|' for the shell:
$ rec2csv --delim=\| Testrec.rec
No luck. However I will continue to try.
     I use emacs orgmode and converting the records to values separated by
     a | would make life a little easier to create tables.

Did you look at ob-rec.el?  It adds support to org-babel to understand
REC blocks with queries, like:


#+begin_src rec :data foo.rec
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| foo | bar |
|-----+-----|
| bar | baz |
| je  | ji  |

Between #+begin_src and #+end_src you can specify a selection
expression.  C-cc-c in the src block will update the table with the
results.

It was your org-babel post in February 2011 that brought recutils to my attention and I intend to experiment with recutils org-babel.

I looked through the org lisp and contrib/lisp directories and did not find ob-rec.el in either. i am using Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-1140-g2eb991). I thought that it had been included.
