How to put a UITextField in a UIbutton in swift

I have been trying to change the button title to "Thank you, name". The name part it will come from the user input in a Textfield. I Tried converting the Textfield to a constant but when I run the app the button title display <UITextField: 0x...x7f8b29f11060>. Any help will be appreciated.

@IBAction func sayHello(sender : AnyObject){
    let greeting = "Hello, " + textField.text! + "!";
    label.text = greeting;
    textField.resignFirstResponder();

    let name = textField!

    button.setTitle("Thank you \(name)", forState: .Normal)
}

func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    textField.resignFirstResponder();
    return true;
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    textField.delegate = self;
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

You want name to be textField.text! not textField: let name = textField!.text

For better writing and consistence, do this code:

let name = textField.text!

let greeting = "Hello, \(name)!";
label.text = greeting;
textField.resignFirstResponder();

button.setTitle("Thank you \(name)!", forState: .Normal)
