I have a created a blog that contains the contents of DLT tapes. Basically, on a computer (which I think is a Linux machine because I access it using ssh in the terminal of my OS X laptop) is a large directory filled with other directories named after DLT tapes, i.e. 5018 refers to DLT 5018. Text files are in these directories and contain the contents of the tape. For example, 5018 may contain a text file called a.log, which when accessed with more displays wallace, betty, and samantha. These names refer to files on the DLT tape.

My boss want to be able to find the location of a file by going to this blog and typing in a file name and bringing up the tape number. The blog's entries are tape numbers and in the text are archives that are stored on the tape. How can I pull this off without cutting and pasting the names of all of the files into the blog? A lot of these files are frame sequences, so there are a lot of them.
