How do I write program in C++ the input will be any type of data (int, char, float, double, string.. Exc)

This is a question I am trying to solve it

(Replacement Selection)
Program input:
 An unordered file containing N sortable data (such as int, double, string etc.)
 B memory zones that can hold data, representing the buffer pool
Program Output:
 N / 2D RUN files, each containing "Approximately" 2B pieces of data
The program should end correctly with different N and B values. In the buffer zone, you need to implement a HEAP scaffolding as in Presentation: 14 in the EXT-SORT presentation.

I wrote the program using the B-tree and sorted with HEAP sort but the problem the code is long and I just used as integer value to write the program but how do I write it with different data type I really get confused ... can someone help me with it please.
And actually I don't know if I have been write the right code.

What I have tried:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
struct BTree//node declaration {
   int *d;
   BTree **child_ptr;
   bool l;
   int n;
}*r = NULL, *np = NULL, *x = NULL;

BTree* init()//creation of node {
   int i;
   np = new BTree;
   np->d = new int[6];//order 6
   np->child_ptr = new BTree *[7];
   np->l = true;
   np->n = 0;
   for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
      np->child_ptr[i] = NULL;
   }
   return np;
}

void traverse(BTree *p)//traverse the tree {
   cout<<endl;
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i < p->n; i++) {
      if (p->l == false) {
         traverse(p->child_ptr[i]);
      }
      cout << " " << p->d[i];
   }
   if (p->l == false) {
      traverse(p->child_ptr[i]);
   }
   cout<<endl;
}

void sort(int *p, int n)//sort the tree {
   int i, j, t;
   for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (j = i; j <= n; j++) {
         if (p[i] >p[j]) {
            t = p[i];
            p[i] = p[j];
            p[j] = t;
         }
      }
   }
}

int split_child(BTree *x, int i) {
   int j, mid;
   BTree *np1, *np3, *y;
   np3 = init();//create new node
   np3->l = true;
   if (i == -1) {
      mid = x->d[2];//find mid
      x->d[2] = 0;
      x->n--;
      np1 = init();
      np1->l= false;
      x->l= true;
      for (j = 3; j < 6; j++) {
         np3->d[j - 3] = x->d[j];
         np3->child_ptr[j - 3] = x->child_ptr[j];
         np3->n++;
         x->d[j] = 0;
         x->n--;
      }
      for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
         x->child_ptr[j] = NULL;
      }
      np1->d[0] = mid;
      np1->child_ptr[np1->n] = x;
      np1->child_ptr[np1->n + 1] = np3;
      np1->n++;
      r = np1;
   } else {
      y = x->child_ptr[i];
      mid = y->d[2];
      y->d[2] = 0;
      y->n--;
      for (j = 3; j <6 ; j++) {

         y->n--;
      }
      x->child_ptr[i + 1] = y;
      x->child_ptr[i + 1] = np3;
   }
   return mid;
}
