A far better solution that boost::lexical_cast is the Boost.Convert 2.0 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_62_0/libs/convert/doc/html/index.html library.
Thank you, this looks great and its exactly what I needed. I had some concerns about lexical_cast and the inefficiencies of exceptions for my simple use case. This is one of the great things I love about having Boost as a monolithic distribution, it has a wonderful collection of (mostly header-only) libraries that I can just reach for as needed without fussing about dependencies.
