"Pausing" a script until receive a variable

(I have done lots of looking up prior to posting, but no answers seem helpful to my case)

I have a script that receives a string from a user input UI and then continue with what it was doing.

For example,

Debug.Log("What's your name?");

string input = Console.WaitForInput ();

Debug.Log("Nice to see you" + input);

It's accessing Console from a variable, currently WaitForInput is a blank method - I'm not sure exactly what to do in order for it to wait to receive a string from one of the default unity UI InputField

Its not so easy to explaine without code but i made a example for you.
Hope it helps to understand the parts required in building such a script.
If you have questions about it just ask.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. // make sure to include the UnityEngine.UI namespace so we can access the Text and Inputfield.
5. using UnityEngine.UI;
6.  
7. /// <summary>
8. /// Story manager Class
9. /// </summary>
10. public class StoryManager : MonoBehaviour
11. {
12.  
13.     public InputField UserInputField; // the textfield the user is typing, it needs to be assigned in the inspector
14.     public Text TextOutput;         // the output text that we what to show the user, it needs to be assigned in the inspector
15.     bool gotUserNameInput = false; // bool variable to save if we got some user input in the input field
16.  
17.     // Use this for initialization
18.     void Start()
19.     {
20.         StartCoroutine(Story()); // starting the story coroutine , make sure the function is of type IEnumerator
21.     }
22.  
23.  
24.     /// <summary>
25.     /// Our Story Coroutine.
26.     /// </summary>
27.     /// <returns></returns>
28.     IEnumerator Story()
29.     {
30.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1); // waiting one second to start our story
31.         TextOutput.text = "What's your name?"; // set the text to the text display
32.         UserInputField.gameObject.SetActive(true); // enable the input field object
33.         UserInputField.onEndEdit.AddListener(delegate { TextEditEnded(UserInputField); }); // subscribe the TextEditEnded function to the onEndEdit event of the user input field.
34.         while (!gotUserNameInput) // loop untill we have user input
35.         {
36.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0);// waiting one frame alternatively you can use yield return null for waiting one frame
37.         }
38.  
39.         TextOutput.text = "Nice to see you " + UserInputField.text; // set the answer text including the given name from the input field
40.         UserInputField.gameObject.SetActive(false); // disable the input field since we do not have any use for it at the moment
41.         gotUserNameInput = false; // reset gotUserNameInput in case we want to run it again.
42.         yield return null; // obligatory return statement
43.  
44.     }
45.  
46.     /// <summary>
47.     /// This function gets called when the user is ending his editing of the UserInputField,
48.     /// this can happenif he presses enter to finis the input or focuses some other ui element.
49.     /// </summary>
50.     /// <param name="input"></param>
51.     public void TextEditEnded(InputField input)
52.     {
53.         if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(input.text)) // Check if the user has input someting
54.             gotUserNameInput = true; //set gotUserNameInput to true to signal that we have got input so the story can continue
55.     }
56.  
57.  
58. }
