And the output should be

SSDDDEDEUJUYYS
>hello you are there other is what is that

So If the first line in each red clor start with symbol > then another same symbol (>)came then it should not print but the next blue line (blue colour)

how can the awk or anything else command can work out..

Hi,

try:

Code:
awk 'f==0 && /^>/{sub(/>[^>]*$/,"",$0);print $0;f=1}!/.*>.*/{print $0;f=0}' file

It gives me:
