How to remove certain portion of a description line of a multifasta file?
I have a sequence file having description lines like
>AR_DN39_c0_g1_i1|m.1 AR_DN39_c0_g1_i1|g.1 type:5prime_partial len:209 gc:universal AR_DN39_c0_g1_i1:881-255(-)
RGQELNTFSLPALSSSLEDLFSMVVCSTGNSFSKEVSIRRRIVNIFNKREEDFPSLREYNDYLEEVEDMTFKLVEGIDVPAIEAKIAKYQEENAEQIINNRARKAEEVARSLKEHQEQPATGVANDTGLAQNSQAMGIGQYNPIFMQPRPPGLTQQPVPIGGSNAHSVPEDEATLRQRAERAARAGGWTNELCRKRAFEEAFSSLWVS*
I need to remove everything beyond "|" so tha I can retain only AR_DN39_c0_g1_i1 in the heading.

You can do
sed 's/|.*//' file.fasta > newfile.fasta
This will remove everything after |
