Thank you John, Michael, Steven, and Dave.
I decided to go the route that John suggested, and use the EXPath File module.
John was right, it was fairly easy to implement the desired functionality using
the EXPath File module. Below is what I created. It seems to work fine. If you
see any potential problems in it, or ways to improve it, please let me know.
