cant open file newby problem

[lmguru]

Hi, I have some old program in C implementing in Qt4, an I`m trying to open file with fopen, and it give me errors when i compile it:

QString  path, path2; 
FILE *vstup;
 
path2 = lineEdit->text();
path = path2.section('/', -1);        //it cuts from path to file the name of file name
 
vstup=fopen(path,"r");

QString  path, path2; 
FILE *vstup;
    
path2 = lineEdit->text();
path = path2.section('/', -1);        //it cuts from path to file the name of file name
 
vstup=fopen(path,"r");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem is in variable path, i don`t now how to convert it into right type for fopen. Thank`s you for any advice.
