Hi

I want to use the following command on multiple .faa files (around 1000 each starting with different name). Kindly help.

sed '/^>/ s/ .*//' 182965_iorA.faa > result/182965_iorA.faa

Best wishes

if you want to treat all the .faa files of your directory you just do :

for i in *.faa ; do sed '/^>/ s/ .*//' $i > result/$i ; done
