Like Allen I'm having trouble understanding what you want to do

If I understand correctly you want to see if the contents of the $obscure variable is the same as the contents of the $filelocation variable?
If so this would be the way to go.

 Code:
If $FileLocation = $Obscure
	;Do stuff
Else
	;Do other stuff
EndIf
