It can be improved like so   if Directory EnumerateFileSystemEntries ProcessingDirectory     xml   ToList lt string gt    Count    0      log Info  no files present     Alternatively   log Info Directory EnumerateFileSystemEntries ProcessingDirectory     xml   ToList lt string gt    Count     file s  present

Since nobody said how to check if the file exists AND get the current folder the executable is in  Working Directory    if  File Exists Directory GetCurrentDirectory        YourFile txt                        do stuff     The    YourFile txt  is not case sensitive  that means stuff like    YoUrFiLe txt  and    YourFile TXT  or    yOuRfILE tXt  is interpreted the same
