Re: [Boost-users] Lexical_cast and hex number

Hi,

It is possibile to transform a string representing a hexadecimal number in the format "0xnumber" or "number" (without "0x") in an integer with lexical_cast<>?

In my experience, lexical_cast<> cannot transform a string representing a hexadecimal number into an integer. unsigned int x = lexical_cast("0x0badc0de"); // throw bad_lexical_cast Instead of using lexical_cast<>, you should use stringstream to do this kind of transform. For example, see the link below: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1070497/c-convert-hex-string-to-signed-in...
