Match after n-th occurrence of something

Hello,
I have a string full of parameters separated by '|'s and am looking for a way to match the value after the n-th '|'. ( I know i could split them but ... you know ...)

I'm sure there a way to do this in regex ... but how??

my string looks something like this:

0|||word||otherword|||string_to_replace||

/\|{8}(.*)$/

is a really feeble attempt and obviously doesn't work but I should spare you of all the versions I tried.

Thankful for your hints:
thomas

Code:
^(?:[^|]*\|){8}([^|]*)
