read input string --> text mode

[eleanor]

Hi, I want to read input from the user in text mode QT application and this doesn't stop the program to enter the name:

QString enteredName;
	QFile inputFile,outputFile;
	cout << "Enter the name you want to search for: ";
	inputFile.open(stdin,QIODevice::ReadOnly);

QString enteredName;
	QFile inputFile,outputFile;
	cout << "Enter the name you want to search for: ";
	inputFile.open(stdin,QIODevice::ReadOnly);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I didn't add the line where I want to write the contents into enteredName...how can I do that?
