Not unless you use the --porcelain option, which is explicitly meant to produce
parsable output.

For instance, if "a" has staged modifications, "b" has unstaged modifications
and  "c" is added (and staged), you'll get

$ git status --porcelain    
M  a                                           
 M b                                           
A  c

i.e. the first character in a line denotes the difference between HEAD and
index and the second character denotes the difference between index and
working copy.
