%'nc2struct_toolbox': transform a netcdf file in a corresponding matlab structure, USE OLD NETCDF LIBRARY
% it reads all the global attributes and all variables, or a selected list.
% The corresponding dimensions and variable attributes are then extracted
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
% function [Data,var_detect,ichoice]=nc2struct_toolbox(nc,varargin)
%
% OUTPUT:
%  Data: structure containing all the information of the netcdf file (or netcdf object)
%           with (optional)fields:
%                    .ListGlobalAttribute: cell listing the names of the global attributes
%                    .Att_1,Att_2... : values of the global attributes
%                    .ListVarName: list of variable names to select (cell array of  char strings {'VarName1', 'VarName2',...} ) 
%                    .VarDimName: list of dimension names for each element of .ListVarName (cell array of string cells)                         
%                    .Var1, .Var2....: variables (Matlab arrays) with names listed in .ListVarName
%                    .ListDimName=list of dimension (added information, not requested for field description)
%                    .DimValue= vlalues of dimensions (added information, not requested for field description)
%  var_detect: vector with same length as the cell array ListVarName, = 1 for each detected variable and 0 else.
%            var_detect=[] in the absence of input cell array 
%  ichoice: index of the selected line in the case of multiple choice 
%        (cell array of varible names with multiple lines) , =[] by default 
%INPUT:
%  nc:  name of a netcdf file (char string) or netcdf object   
%  additional arguments:
%       -no additional arguments: all the variables of the netcdf fiel are read.
%       -a cell array, ListVarName, made of  char strings {'VarName1', 'VarName2',...} ) 
%         if ListVarName=[] or {}, no variables is read (only global attributes)
%         if ListVarName is absent, or = '*', ALL the variables of the netcdf file are read. 
%         if ListVarName 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
%        - the string 'ListGlobalAttribute' followed by a list of attribute  names: reads only these attributes (fast reading)
