% Description:
% Find text signature in a bunch of cell strings from a file header and
% return the following value in the specified format. Example: 
% no_of_bin_bytes = get_hdr_val(header,'X-Binary-Size:','%f',1);
% The last parameter specifies whether the macro should exit with an error
% message if the text signature has not been found. 
%
% Note:
% Call without arguments for a brief help text.

% Dependencies:
% none

% history:
%
% May 7th 2008: 
% add number of input argument check and brief help text
