parse.CMEMS.script: Get configuration from CMEMS command-line script

In markpayneatwork/RCMEMS: Interface to the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service Datastore

Description

Extracts the available details from a download script provided by CMEMS and uses it to create an CMEMS.config object

Usage

parse.CMEMS.script(script, parse.user = FALSE)

Arguments

script	A text string for a download script provided by the CMEMS website
parse.user	A logical variable indicating whether the username and password should be parsed or not. Typically, these are place holder values, so it's not really necessary to parse them.

Details

The CMEMS website has subsetting functionality that can be used as a template generate a download script for use with the motu client (usually accessed by clicking on the "View Script" button when preparing to download). This function saves the hard work of having to figure out the parameters for use with the RCMEMS package by parsing this command and extracting the relevant information.
