DESCRIPTION ^

'nc2struct_toolbox': transform a netcdf file in a corresponding matlab structure, USE OLD NETCDF LIBRARY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 function [Data,var_detect,ichoice]=nc2struct_toolbox(nc,ListField)

 OUTPUT:
  Data: structure containing all the information of the netcdf file (or netcdf object)
           with fields:
    .ListGlobalAttribute: cell listing the names of the global attributes
        .Att_1,Att_2... : values of the global attributes
            .ListDimName: cell listing the names of the array dimensions
               .DimValue: array dimension values (Matlab vector with the same length as .ListDimName
            .ListVarName: cell listing the names of the variables
            .VarDimIndex: cell containing the set of dimension indices (in list .ListDimName) for each variable of .ListVarName
            .VarDimName: cell containing a cell of dimension names (in list .ListDimName) for each variable of .ListVarName
           .VarAttribute: cell of structures s containing names and values of variable attributes (s.name=value) for each variable of .ListVarName
        .Var1, .Var2....: variables (Matlab arrays) with names listed in .ListVarName
  var_detect: vector with same length as ListVarName, with 1 for each detected variable and 0 else.
  ichoice: = line 

INPUT:
     nc:      name of a netcdf file (char string) or netcdf object   
 ListField: optional list of variable names to select (cell array of  char strings {'VarName1', 'VarName2',...} ) 
         if ListField is absent or ='*', ALL the attributes and variables are read.  %      
        if  ListField='ListGlobalAttribute', followed by the arguments 'name1', name2'..., only thes global attributes will be read (short option)
        if  ListField=[] or{}, no variables is read (only global attributes and lists of vdimensions, variables and attriburtes)
        if ListField is a cell array with n lines, the set of variables
                        will be sought by order of priority in the list, while output names will be set by the first line
