C++ semantic error in structure variable

I am new to programming. I was trying to parse an input which contains the records of some people in a file in the following form:

5 dave laura owen vick amr dave 200 3 laura owen vick owen 500 1 dave amr 150 2 vick owen laura 0 2 amr vick vick 0 0

The first interger that is 5 represents the total number of persons involved, after which we get 5 strings upto amr. The next input involves a string "dave" and 2 integers 200 and 3 where 3 denotes the number of persons associated with "dave". The next 3 strings are the names of the person associated with "dave". Subsequent entires represent the same semantic structure.

I coded a "structure dict" to hold the above information, and stored the names of the persons in the struct variable 'name'. However as I retrieve the data from the file into the struct variables, my code automatically changes the information in the struct variables. I am unable to locate the error and would be very thankful if any of you could help me figure my mistake. Thanks in advance.

#include "iostream"
#include "fstream"
using namespace std;

typedef struct $
{
    char name[14];
    int dollars;
    int no_Persons;
    char friends[][14];
}dict;

int main()
{   
    ofstream fout ("gift1.out");
    fstream fin ("gift1.in");
    int num;
    fin >> num;
    dict NP[num];   
    int counter = num;
    char name[14];
    int index;
    for(int i = 0; i < counter; i ++)
        fin >> NP[i].name;
    while(counter)
    {
        fin >> name;
        for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
        {   
            if(strcmp(name, NP[i].name)==0)
            {   
                index = i;
                break;
            }
        }
        fin >> NP[index].dollars;
        fin >> NP[index].no_Persons;
        for(int i = 0; i < NP[index].no_Persons; i ++)  
            fin >> NP[index].friends[i];

        counter --;
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
    {
        cout << NP[i].name << endl;
        cout << NP[i].dollars << "  " << NP[i].no_Persons << endl;
        for(int j = 0; j < NP[i].no_Persons; j++ )
            cout << NP[i].friends[j] << endl;
    }
