to send multiple

to read four types

Do you want to send data or read data? I.e., what direction is the data going, into the Arduino or out of the Arduino?

You can send and/or receive any kind of data you like, it's all just bytes being sent across a serial link. Those bytes can represent voltage, speed or pressure in any units you like. You can send in binary or ASCII form. If you could explain a little more clearly what you want to do, then people here will be able to help.

I'm trying to get two different data types printed into some sort of text file. Can someone help me do that, preferably in the "Processing" data language?

Also, for just collecting data from 2 sources at once, you might try here:
