I've had some difficulty comparing string variables to string constants
with ==. I believe it's always after using a readLine(). Does Swift
require a .equals() or a .compareTo(), as other c like languages, or are
there invisible characters in my string because of the readLine() which I
need to strip out?
Thanks!

You should be able to use ==.
Are the lengths of your strings the same length? readLine() has a strip newlines parameter that is true by default.

Have you compared characters.count on the two strings? Could you be pulling in \r\n?
