Conditionals are true but are returning false

When debugging, $var is not equivalent to "folder\that\isNot\equivalent\".

I have tried changing it to an equivalency statement, but it is not working. Any insight would be appreciated.

Here is all the relevant code:

$process = "Explorer++.exe"
$var = Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter "name = '$process'" | select -expandproperty CommandLine
$var = $var -split '\\\\' | select -Last 1
Write-Host $var
if ($var  -ne "folder\that\isNot\equivalent\")
{
    Stop-Process -processname explorer++
    Stop-Process -processname curProc
}
else
{
    return $true
}

The issue was whitespace surrounding the $var. I used the command $var = $var -replace "\s",""

That replaces every space symbol with an empty string, I also changed it to an equivalency statement.

if ($var -eq "\folder\that\is\")
