I'm fiddling around on RetroMUD and trying to map it but running into trouble with weather/lighting descriptions (which change). Sample MUD output:

Inner keep
This inner keep is well kept. The walls are lined with weapon racks filled
with a variety of weapons to be used if the fortress is attacked.A long red
carpet is on the floor continuing on to the north into a large room.
Tapestries hang from the ceiling with pictures of great battles that Clan
Warhawk has participated in. The west leads into the fighter advancement room
and north leads into the Great Hall.
It is dimly lit here.
Obvious exits are: north, south, and west.

The mapper works perfectly, except for the light/weather descriptions in the middle of the description (above, "It is dimly lit here.", in other places it may be more verbose like " The sky is black and the stars shine down brightly. The Khyr moon is waxing towards full. The Chlt is waning towards half. The massive Gn is waning towards half. A waning crescent Ithb moon hangs in the sky. A new crescent Nql hangs in the sky. The waxing half Mgmr moon fills the sky. The sky is overcast with tall white clouds. It is fairly well lit here.")

The first paragraph is always the description and the second is always something I don't want to capture. Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks.
