Why are two identical strings being detected as different?

Let's image partTouching value is "Flashlight". Now look at line 15. The first variable of the list is also "Flashlight". So, when I'm comparing the two, for some reason, roblox decides that "Flaslight" and "Flashlight" are different things. Am I comparing the wrong thing? Help, please.

local detector = script.Parent
local itemList = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("Modules").ShopItems)
local itemValue = script.Parent.Parent.Item
local debounce = false


detector.Touched:Connect(function(partTouching)
	if debounce == false then
		tostring(partTouching)
		local debounce = true
		for i = 1, #itemList do
			print(partTouching)
			print(itemList[i])
			--print("something is touching")
			if partTouching == itemList[i] then
				if itemValue.Value == "" then
					itemValue.Value = partTouching
				end
			end
		end
		detector.TouchEnded:Wait()
		local debounce = false
		itemValue.Value = ""
	end
end)

It's fixed. When getting the part that hits the other part, make sure to compare using part.Name. In this case, I fixed it by writing:

if itemList[i] == partTouching.Name then

Instead of

if itemList[i] == partTouching then

Hope this helps to anyone.
