Susan It appears that you will want to use a database. and update it when the files are removed. (possibly provide a page to do uploading, modifications and deletions with .. this way you can automate the db)
other than that you will have to recreate everything each time you process or display the file list. and dont read the file into the db unless your gonna do the modifications there just store a reference link in the db that way your overhead stays small.
