I've been learning OpenGl for the past week and just a few days ago I had to do this with the GLUT library. My solution is fairly brutish but it worked.

Anytime the Keyboard callback function is called, and the key pressed is A-Z (or whatever range of letters are valid for input) add the current letter to a global stringstream.
When the keyboard callback function is called and the key is RETURN, empty the stringstream into the string variable that you will be working with.

This is assuming your using GLUT.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been working with OpenGL?
