function [avail_diag]=read_avail_diag_v2(filAvailDiag,nameDiag);
%This routine is copied/adapted from gcmfaces_IO/process2nctiles.m
%
%Read some relevant information form available_diagnostics.log about diag nameDiag
%
%Input:
%       filAvailDiag    full path of available_diagnostics.log
%       nameDiag        name of diagnostic being processed
%
%Output:
%       avail_diag      matlab structure with info about the diagnostic
%e.g.:
%>> avail_diag
%avail_diag = 
%  struct with fields:
%
%           units: 'degC'
%    longNameDiag: 'Potential Temperature'
%           loc_h: 'C'
%           loc_z: 'M'
%              nr: 50
