Code::Blocks build fails

[CodeWriter]

Learning C++ although I did some self taught hobby C programming a long time ago.

First I started up Code::Blocks and chose "create a new project".
In the New from template window I double clicked "Console application" icon.
Next chose C++ option.
Next gave a Project title: "FileTest" and selected folder C:\CodeBlockPrograms.
Then hit the Finish button.
In the Management section on the left I chose the Files tab and navigated to the chosen FileTest folder.
Double clicked main.cpp file to edit it.
The template comes with an #include <iostream> but no #include <fstream>.
So I typed in #include <fstream.h>
Then chose Build -> Build and run
First I got a fatal error: fstream.h: No such file or directory.
When I changed the <fstream.h> to <fstream>it worked but why when the tutorial example used the former?

Then when I typed in the rest of the program and tried a build/run I got a fatal error with regards to the mode value.

Anyone know how to fix that?

using namespace std;

{
   char ch;
   char filename[20] = "a:test.txt";
   int mode = ios::out;
   fstream fout(filename, mode);
   cout << "Ready for input: Use Control-Z to end." << endl;
   while (cin.get(ch))
   {
       fout.put(ch);
   }
   fout.close();

    return 0;
}

The mode used to open an fstream is not an integer, and so you cannot assign it to one. You can declare mode to be of type std::ios_base::openmode, or use the auto keyword if you're using a recent compiler that supports it.

@Zhuge,
Thank you that seems to worked. My tutorial must be out of date.

If your tutorial recommend fstream.h, it likely is, as that isn't even standard C++.
