Separate coordinates with a format different to decimal degrees and check that the coordinates in this format are into range (latitude: -90, 90 degrees and longitude: -180, 180 degrees)

1 2	checkCoord(data = NULL, path = NULL, rd.frmt = "readRDS", wrt.frmt = "saveRDS", save.right.in = NULL, save.wrong.in = NULL)

`data`	Vector of characters. Name of the input file.
`path`	Vector of characters. Path to the input file.
`rd.frmt`	Vector of characters. The file format to read. By default it will be read as a R object using the `'readRDS'` argument, but it can be read as plain text using the `'readTXT'` argument. See details.
`wrt.frmt`	Vector of characters. Format to save output file. By default it will be written as a R object using `'saveRDS'` argument, but it can be saved as plain text using `'saveTXT'` argument. See details.
`save.right.in`	Vector of characters. Path to the output file for each species with coordinates in the correct format.
`save.wrong.in`	Vector of characters. Path to the output file for each species with coordinates in the wrong format.

For more details about the formats to read and/or write, see readAndWrite function.

The headers of the input file must follow the Darwin Core standard [1]. The user can see the guide using data('ID_DarwinCore) command.

For each species, if this is the case, two output files data.frame class: The first one has the correct coordinates for the species and the second one has the wrong coordinates for the same species.
