comparing letters in array to al

[txp200]

Hi, i am using _GetCh to accept a letter from the user and then i am comparing the letter to an array to check for occurrences. the letter is stored in ax. the problem is everything works except its never going to count and i know there are occurrences in the array. any help is appreciated.
here is part of the code:
cmp al, [di + bx]
je count

What your code does is compare the byte at [di+bx], then continues on if it's not equal. In other words, it only compares one byte, one time.
