As per your exact requirements, a space would remain between > and FMG or GFT.

The below sed command will produce the correct output:

Code:
sed 's/\(^.*\)gi.*Fesd\(.*$\)/\1\2/' file

To remove the space and get the output which you have shown you can amend the above command to the below:

Code:
sed 's/\(^.*\)gi.*Fesd[[:space:]]\(.*$\)/\1\2/' file
