"'then' expected" error, then in plain sight[SOLVED]

So I was testing out the second part of my startup program, and this showed up

bios.lua:14: [string ".temp"]:8: 'then' expected

here's the program:

os.loadAPI(Basics)
paintutils.drawQuestionBox()–this is from the Basics API, this didn't cause the error
textutils.slowPrint("Your name?")
term.setCursorPos(5, 8)
term.setBackgroundColor( colors.white )
local name = read()
term.clear()
if name = Wochilly then –this caused the error
paintutils.drawDialog()–yet again, another function from the API
textutils.slowPrint("Wochilly! Welcome back!")
term.setBackgroundColor( colors.black )
term.setTextColor( colors.lightBlue )
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print("CraftOS Binary Edition")\
else
print("TODO")
end

If you're curious, here's the Basics API:

function paintutils.drawDialog()
paintutils.drawFilledBox(1, 15, 51, 19, colors.blue )
paintutils.drawFilledBox(2, 16, 50, 18, colors.lightBlue )
term.setCursorPos(2, 16)
term.setBackgroundColor( colors.lightBlue )
end
function paintutils.drawQuestionBox()
paintutils.drawFilledBox(3, 5, 47, 10, colors.yellow )
paintutils.drawLine(5, 8, 45, 8, colors.white )
term.setBackgroundColor( colors.yellow )
term.setTextColor( colors.black )
term.setCursorPos(5,7)
end

So apparently the error is saying the 8th line which checks if the name is Wochilly or not is expected to have a 'then' even though then is in plain sight.
Can anyone help me?
Edit:No, changing the = to == won't work. it will just say "expected string" and yes, i've tried putting "" on the Wochilly
ReEdit:Apparently the expected string was caused due to me loading the API incorrectly. I've fixed it now, so ignore this post.

My favorite sticky post can help!

On line 14 you put = instead of ==. And yes, do read the sticky posts before posting.
