@
void EngMountStiff::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"), "",tr("Nastran Punch Files (.pch);;ALL Files (.*)"));
}
void EngMountStiff::on_commandLinkButton_clicked()
{
QString aScript = "print ""+fileName+"\n";";
.
.
.
}

You should define(?) a QString inside your class (header file)

@class EngMountStiff
{
//whatever is added here

private: //i prefer it private, depends on you
    QString fileName;

}@

then you may use it in your classes like this:
@void EngMountStiff::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
/Notice the minor change here/
fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"), "",tr("Nastran Punch Files (.pch);;ALL Files (.*)"));
}
void EngMountStiff::on_commandLinkButton_clicked()
{
QString aScript = "print ""+fileName+"\n";";
.
.
.
}@
