Trim fasta sequence names

Question

[dvorikus]

Dear all,

I have bunch of fasta files with following sequence names format:

>gi|113476179|ref|YP_722240.1| hypothetical protein Tery_2568 [Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101]

Do you have any script, which would help me to change it to something like this:

>Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101

Thank you in advance!

Petr
