There formatted wrong,
becuase $exists(dir/file) is $true/$false if the dir/file exists you want $null, also the second lines !== (while it might work actually) should be !=

As shown in INIT's script above you can just use
else { if ($read($nick $+ coderz.txt,w, *$2*)) {
else { if (!$read($nick $+ coderz.txt,w, * $+ $2 $+ *)) {

You can nest your IF/ELSE { IF/ELSE } like that, but only is really needed if your doing similar code on every ELSE event before or after the inclosed IF/ELSE
(if that made any sence lol)
