There are two ways. C gives you strtod which converts between a char array
and double:
input2 = strtod(input.c_str(), NULL);

The C++ streams provide nice conversions to and from a variety of types.
The way to use strings with streams is to use a stringstream:

istringstream in(input);
input >> input2;
