Actually the string must consist entirely of a valid integer, not merely 
contain one.  Any non-numeric characters are invalid.

If you already have the components broken out like that, then it is 
trivial to convert "001" to 1 via lexical_cast, and then do whatever 
operations you want on each component separately.  (If you don't have 
them broken out, then you will need to use some kind of parser to break 
them out into components first.)

You can't use lexical_cast to go the other way and produce "001" from 1 
-- it will produce only "1", and you would have to use something else to 
insert the leading zeroes that you desire.

You might want to look at Boost.Format, eg:

   (boost::format("%1%%|2$02|%|3$03|") % tid % tagId % value).str()
