No, the array is for the counts of occurances, note they are int, not char. The file is read through stdin and can be any length.

First printable/non-control-code ASCII character

What is the problem with your code? In what form is the manifestation of the issue?

You have no pretty formatting of your results, what is ch supposed to be doing?
I presume the array is supposed to be zero based.

the problem is when i start without debugging, after i've entered the file names, an popup comes up that says debug assertion failed.. vector subscript is out of range

ch is supposed to be counting from 'a' to 'z' and then outputting all the numbers

this is due today so don't worry about trying anymore, but thanks anyways!
