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<const char *>(operand);
        return true;
    }
    catch(const boost::bad_any_cast &)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

bool is_string(const boost::any & operand)
{
    return any_cast<std::string>(&operand);
}

Is that what you're looking for?
