Answer 1

In your input you have word "bar" and it's quoted. String named element in your code equals to bar without quotes. That's why your code is not working correctly.

Answer 2

One of the possible variants to fix your code is to replace (element = "bar") to (element = "\"bar\"")

Answer 3

its working now, thanks for the help man!
