Hi,

one solution to your problem could be to use Octopus, a software I've written to
parse BLAST/FASTA outputs. Using Octopus, you can search for keywords, like 
"gi|" from your example, and create a new BLAST file containing only the
result of that search. More information on Octopus are available :
