Checking the format of a string

Question

I have a vector of strings im working trought, and i need to check how the string is formated. Im using sscanf in the rest of the function and i need something like this.

if (format("%f,%f,%f")) {
  // Do someting
} else if (format("%d,%d")) {
  // Do something else
} else {
  // Do something
}

Is this possible using sscanf or something else from std?

If you are able to use tr1 then std::tr1::regex is the way to go.. take a look here.
