getting numbers from string

[Tan Thuan Seah]

Hi all,

I have a string with several numbers in it. The numbers each can be up to
14 characters.(i.e ---------12345---------1234, where - represents spaces).
Is there any way to retrieve the number apart from using sscanf?

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string s(" 12345 1234");
std::istringstream iss(s);
unsigned long number(0);

while(iss >> number)
std::cout << number '\n';

return 0;
}
