I am comparing two strings, and apparently they aren’t equal but they are. I was wondering what are some issues that could cause this, maybe datatype, hidden stuff that I can’t see, or what. Any input could be helpful. Thanks.

String/Object comparison should use
equals(), not==(excepts the case of String literal comparison)Example:
==checks for reference equality,equals()checks for content equality. Read this discussion.
