I need to check if a variable name exist in a netcdf file. Is there a way to do this without creating a list variable names and searching it entry by entry in a loop?

I think I can catch it with the warnings produced:

Error using netcdflib
The NetCDF library encountered an error during execution of 'inqVarID' function - 'Variable not found (NC_ENOTVAR)'.

Error in netcdf.inqVarID (line 22)
varid = netcdflib('inqVarID', ncid, varname);
