if statement dont work, cant compare var with text [closed]

Why is this not working? when i print (line) after the for it works but then the if´s dont work, i put the print("00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000") in there to se if it would enter the if statement but it doesnt, also the names are correct.

global varLnkOrder                                                                  
varLnkOrder=""                                                                      
varLbook = open("Confs/bookmarks.txt", "r").readlines()                             
                                                                                    
for line in varLbook:

        print("00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000") #<- dont show, even when the var line is stathomeboo
