READ_IDL: restores variable from an IDL save file into Matlab
variables.
s=read_idl(filename)
Input arguments (can appear in any order, and all are optional):
- filename: complete path specification for the save file
- 'lowercase': convert variable names from ALL CAPS to all lowercase
- 'verbose': print out analysis of file structure
- 'restore_verbose': print out lots of stuff while restoring variables
- 'debug': both verbose and restore_verbose
This version restores every variable it knows how to do, and puts them
all into the output argument array or a struct whose field names are the
IDL variable names, and field values are the IDL variables themselves.
The latter (single structure) method is the default.
To create a MATLAB variable from one of the fields in the single
structure, do this:
fields=fieldnames(outargs);
eval([fields{n} '=outargs.' fields{n} ';']);
Output is a struct array with fields "name" and "value", where
"name" is the name of the variable, and "value" is a cell array
containing the variable, whatever it may be. Could be a scalar, numeric
array, string, struct, array of structs, nested structs, what have you.
