Re: [Boost-users] boost::any Question

I took a look at the examples in the Boost::Any documentation and found this: bool is_int(const boost::any & operand) { return operand.type() == typeid(int); } bool is_char_ptr(const boost::any & operand) { try { any_cast(operand); return true; } catch(const boost::bad_any_cast &) { return false; } } bool is_string(const boost::any & operand) { return any_caststd::string(&operand); } Is that what you're looking for?
