I need to check if the value of a particualr property is actually an ISO 8601 format.

So, if someone enters some string as a property, I need to check whether it is per the format of ISO 8601.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

What have I tried? strftime - could not find if there is a simple way of checking if the input string is on the same lines as the ISO format.

can you show us your use of `strftime`? That seems to be a logical choice.. – NG. Nov 26 '13 at 12:08

You may use `std::regex` ([tag:c++11]) or `boost::regex` to accomplish this. – πάντα ῥεῖ Nov 26 '13 at 12:10
