Hardcoded variable is working but variable created from shortcode is not

I hardcoded a variable “user” as a guid which is equal to logged in user. When i use the hardcoded variable the data gets just fine, however, when i try using the userlogin variable, it fails. However, it shows the same value when i print both variables.

{% set user = “b5f6d824-c8a6-ec11-983f-00224884c115” %}
//essentially the user_login method is getting the same guid so userlogin and user variables should be the same
{% set userlogin = “[user_login]” %}
{% if userlogin is same as user %}
the variables are the same {% else %} the variables are different
{% endif %}

{% endfetchxml %}
