how to compare 2 string values for ng-hide

I'm trying to compare a value of an object file.name to see if it matches 2 strings but it doesnt seem to be working right. Not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong...is it because i can't compare more than 2 strings in a or comparator like this?

HTML:

<a ng-hide="file.name !== 'application' || 'history application'">
    <span>Hello</span>
</a>

i want to hide if my file names do not equal application or history

any ideas?

While Wasif Khan's answer is correct, it is best practice not to use double negatives where they can be avoided. 

<a ng-show="file.name === 'application' || file.name === 'history application'">
<span>Hello</span>
</a>

By using ng-show instead of ng-hide, the code becomes more readable.
