mixed variables in a single array

I started having errors when I tried to work with the following code
I instantly noticed I set the array as a string and I was trying to work with integers and doubles.

	int itemSold;
	int envelopeSold;
	int noteSold;
	string envelopeY;
	string noteY;
	int toBuy;

	string colorArray[10][2];
	ifstream inSW;					
	inSW.open("Southwest.txt");		
	for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {
		getline(inSW, colorArray[x][0]);	
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].itemP;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].enevelopeP;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].noteP;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].itemQ;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].envelopeQ;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].noteQ;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].itemSold;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].envelopeSold;
		inSW >> colorArray[x][1].noteSold;
		colorArray[x][2].envelopeY = "(N)";
		colorArray[x][2].noteY = "(N)";
		colorArray[x][2].toBuy = 0;
		}
	}
	inSW.close();


Do I need to make separate arrays for each type of variable? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Yes. By definition an array consists of elements of the same type.
Although what you're trying to do can be done with an array of objects.

How would I go about doing that?
