linked list problem

[Kidd87]

my text file looks something like this

1234 jack hammer 75.00 .45 10
5678 Daffy Drill 25.00 .67 10
9887 Flash light 30.00 .87 10

When I open up my text file, it only reads me the 1234 then junk below it. I have no clue what do. Anything is welcome. Below is my .cpp file


#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

//******************************************************************************

struct acmetype{
int pid;
char description[25];
float wholesale;
float markup;
int quantity;
acmetype *link;
};

ifstream fin; //global variable

void headerfn();
void fileopen();
void inputfn(acmetype *&head);
void printfn(acmetype *&head);


//*******************
//* Begin of Main *
//*******************

int main(){
system("color F0");
headerfn();
fileopen();

acmetype *head;
inputfn(head);
printfn(head);



cout<<endl<<endl;
system("PAUSE");

}//end of main

//******************************************************************************
void fileopen(){
string tools;
int pid;
char description;
fin.open("tools.txt");

if (!fin)
{
cout << "Error opening output file. Go Play Basketball like Kobe!!"<<endl<<endl;
system("PAUSE");
getch();
}



}

//***************************************************************************
void inputfn(acmetype *&head){
acmetype *currptr, *nnptr;
int counter= 0;
char description[25];

head = new acmetype;//creating first node
fin>>head->pid;
currptr = head;//curr ptr pointing at head and first node is ready.
counter++;
while(fin){
nnptr= new acmetype;
fin>>nnptr->pid;
fin.getline(description, 25);
// fin.getline(acmetype.description[25]);

currptr->link = nnptr;
currptr = currptr->link;
if(fin.peek()=='\n')fin.ignore();//check for next character
counter++;
}//end of while
currptr->link= NULL;
currptr= NULL;
nnptr= NULL;

}//end of inputfn
//****************************************************************************
void printfn(acmetype *&head){
acmetype *currptr;

//print all data members
currptr = head;
while(currptr!=NULL){
cout<<currptr->pid<<endl;
currptr=currptr->link;
if(fin.peek()=='\n')fin.ignore();
}//end of while
