How to determine if a string is a number with C++?

Question

I\'ve had quite a bit of trouble trying to write a function that checks if a string is a number. For a game I am writing I just need to check if a line from the file I am r

Answer 1

I propose a simple convention:

If conversion to ASCII is > 0 or it starts with 0 then it is a number. It is not perfect but fast.

Something like this:

string token0;

if (atoi(token0.c_str())>0 || isdigit(token0.c_str()[0]) ) { //this is a value
    // do what you need to do...
}
