If its just a mater of converting a std::string to a double, it doesn't get easier than using boost::lexical_cast as follows

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
...
std::string str; // keep the string here
double result = boost::lexical_cast<double>(str);

The problem is that the string coming from usarsim is about 600 character length. Some of them are text and the other are sensor readings.does your solution above solve the problem?

This is a sample of the string coming from usarsim: data: STA{Time 154829.4375} {FrontSteer 0} {RearSteer 0} {Battery 99999}data: SEN {Type RangeScanner} {Name lms200} {Resolution 0.1744} {FOV 3.1414} {Range 6.76,6.87,7.20,5.31,6.22,7.41,7.59,7.00,6.68,6.58,6.68,7.00,7.59,8.59,10.23,13 - Sara (5 min

You will need to parse that data. There is nothing ROS specific to that.
