%'nc2struct': transform a NetCDF file in a corresponding matlab structure
% 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,errormsg]=nc2struct(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)
%                  .VarType= integers giving the type of variable as coded by netcdf =2 for char, =4 for single,=( for double
%  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 file are read.
%       -a cell array, ListVarName, made of  char strings {'VarName1', 'VarName2',...} )
%         if ListVarName=[] or {}, no variable value is read (only global attributes and list of variables and dimensions)
%         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)
%       - the string 'TimeVarName', a string (the name of the variable considered as time), an integer or vector with integer values
%            representing time indices to select for each variable, the cell of other input variable names.
%       - the string 'TimeDimName', a string (the name of the dimension considered as time), an integer or vector with integer values
%            representing time indices to select for each variable, the cell of other input variable names.
