reading a file into Qt

Question

I wrote a Program in Qt 5.2.1 that writes some data into a file and now I want to read it and display it. ( in a text edit or any other widget)

Here is my code ( the part I thought is relevant ) -

But i don't get the desires result ... could you look into it and tell me what i an doing wrong

void MainWindow::on_Search_clicked()
{
   QString name ;
   name = ui->Search_name->text();

   QFile readfile("data.txt");
   if(!readfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
   {
       qDebug() << "error opening file: " << readfile.error();
       return;
   }

   QTextStream instream(&readfile);
   QString line = instream.readLine();

   // ui->text is a QPlainTextEdit*
   ui->text->insertPlainText(line);   

   readfile.close();
   return;
}

You should use

void QPlainTextEdit::appendPlainText ( const QString & text ) [slot]

method, link.
