His statement was a conditional. Since you're saying that the

It's a file. You read strings from it and write strings to it. It
isn't a string itself. Given that what you're trying to do doesn't make
any sense, it's hard to know where to begin to identify what's confusing
you.

If you want to make sure something is always done in a particular
