C++ :: Ifstream Input To Different File Types

I want to create a function with a return type. However, I want to use it to read from a file (ifstream) and produce multiple different types of return types. The different file types returned would be always in the same order. For example

Text File:
Name
1
12
30
Area

I want to ifstream line 1 (Name) to an array of characters.
line 2, 3, and 4 to integers.
and line 5 as a string.

The basic problem is that if I make a function with one return type, it would only return one type of data to my int main(). I suppose I could create multiple functions that would run this for different variable types and destroy the invalid types. But this seems inefficient. It is being used to load in data from a previously saved file.

So far..

//function to load a player's data
string loaded(string fileName) {
ifstream loadfile;
loadfile.open(fileName);

[Code] .....

I was thinking I could possibly do something with a counter to count the lines and assign a value based on their order. The problem is with the 1 return value of a function. Maybe there is another operation I could use?
