I made your program with compiler EMU8086 Intel syntax (just copy-paste-run). It's big but fully commented to help you understand, this is what it does: display a message for user, capture a string from keyboard (max 132), count digits and letters (other are ignored), display counters. Here it is (more explanations after the code):
.stack 100h
.data
msj1 db 'Enter a line of text (132 max) : $'
text db 133 ;MAX LENGTH 132, PLUS 1 FOR ENDING CHR(13).
db ? ;LENGTH ENTERED BY USER.
db 133 dup(?) ;THE STRING.
digits dw 10 dup(0) ;ARRAY OF 10 COUNTERS FOR DIGITS.
uppercase dw 26 dup(0) ;ARRAY OF 26 COUNTERS FOR UPPERCASE LETTERS.
lowercase dw 26 dup(0) ;ARRAY OF 26 COUNTERS FOR LOWERCASE LETTERS.
str db 6 dup('$') ;TO STORE NUMBER CONVERTED TO STRING.
char db ' =$'
space db ' $'

In data segment you'll find three arrays : digits, lowercase and uppercase. These are the counters. The idea is to use the same characters as offset inside the array. For example, the first position of array digits is the counter for digit 0. The first position of array lowercase is the counter for 'a'.
The code is structured in procedures, some of them are very alike: check_digit (check_lowercase, check_uppercase), display_digit_counters (display_lowercase_counters, display_uppercase_counters).
Now the same program for Visual Studio 2010 C++ console project. Next code must be copy-pasted in the code file that contains the main method ("int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[ ]") :
