Give me an roXMLList that contains every "file-count" element below whatever element "xml" references

Basically, without testing it, I don't know if GetNamedElements will return invalid or an empty roXMLList, so we check both, so the next line that tries to access the first element of the list doesn't blow up if it's the latter (an empty list)

'assign the value of the field file-count
fileCount = xmlFileCount[ 0 ].GetText()
Correct.
