# @Author: Anne Philipp (University of Vienna)
#
# @Date: May 2018
#
# @Change History:
#    October 2014 - Anne Fouilloux (University of Oslo)
#        - created functions silent_remove and product (taken from ECMWF)
#
#    November 2015 - Leopold Haimberger (University of Vienna)
#        - created functions: interpret_args_and_control, clean_up
#          my_error, normal_exit, init128, to_param_id
#
#    April - December 2018 - Anne Philipp (University of Vienna):
#        - applied PEP8 style guide
#        - added documentation
#        - moved all non class methods from former file Flexparttools in here
#        - separated args and control interpretation
#        - added functions get_list_as_string, read_ecenv, send_mail, make_dir,
#          put_file_to_ecserver, submit_job_to_ecserver, get_informations,
#          get_dimensions, execute_subprocess, none_or_int, none_or_str
#
#    August 2020 - Leopold Haimberger (University of Vienna)
#        - added function to check if a specific string is in a file
#        - added function to overwrite lines in a file which contain specific string
#
#    July 2022 - Anne Tipka (formerly Philipp)
#        - modified function put_file_to_ecserver to put the file automatically
#          to $HOME directory, to avoid static path creation
#        - added function to submit a batch job
