#Script to untar data retrieved from the LTA by using wget
#It will DELETE the .tar file after extracting it.
#
#Notes:
#When using wget, the files are named, as an example:
#SRMFifoGet.py?surl=srm:%2F%2Fsrm.grid.sara.nl:8443%2Fpnfs%2Fgrid.sara.nl%2Fdata%2Flofar%2Fops%2Fprojects%2Flofarschool%2F246403%2FL246403_SAP000_SB000_uv.MS_7d4aa18f.tar
# This scripts will rename those files as the string after the last '%'
# If you want to change that behaviour, modify line
# outname=filename.split("%")[-1]
#
