  #include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#define MAX_SIZE 100
int main()
{
    ifstream myFile;
    char string[MAX_SIZE];
    int alphabets;
    int digits;
    int specialchars;
    int i;

    alphabets = digits = specialchars = i = 0;

    myFile.open("text.txt");

    while (myFile >> string){

        while (string[i]!='\0'){

            if((string[i]>='a' && string[i]<='z') || (string[i]>='A' && string[i]<='Z')){
               alphabets++;
               }
            else if(string[i]>='0' && string[i]<='9'){
                digits++;
            }
            else {
                specialchars++;
            }
            i++;
        }

    }
cout<<"Alphabets: "<<alphabets<<endl;
cout<<"Digits: "<<digits<<endl;
cout<<"Special characters: "<<specialchars<<endl;

    myFile.close();
    return 0;
}
Why do you include string if your not going to use it? How about you make char string[max_size] be std::string str; and then use getline to limite the amount of chars read? (std::getline(std::cin,str,100);)
you need to reset `i' for each word read
